Compensation for a cancelled flight AND loss of connection
I am trying to find out the amount of the compensation we have the right for. This is mainly due to the fact that googling for flight cancellation and loss of connection is unclear to whether it means loss of connection due to the cancellation or loss of connection And cancellation. This was a trip from Reykjavik (Keflavik Airport) to Bilbao, traveling first from Reykjavik to Barcelona and then from Barcelona to Bilbao.
The flight from Reykjavik to Barcelona was cancelled, it was the last in the day so we were reallocated in the next one, which was the next day. Now, we also lost the connecting flight from Barcelona to Bilbao the next day due to a delay in the flight (the second one) and thus lost another day in Barcelona. Since it was, again, the last of the day, we were reallocated to the first one the next day, therefore losing two days.
Both flights were booked using Vueling and operated by them, same ticket. And it was a delay of more than 24 hours.
Please note that I have already made the claim, but I want to make sure they refund me what I am entitled for.

The airline legally has to give you all of the following: a full refund for the flight. a full refund for other flights from the airline that you won't use in the same booking, eg an onward or return flight. if you're part-way through a journey, a flight back to the airport you originally departed from.Is airlines responsible for the connecting flights?
As can be expected, if you are responsible for missing your connecting flight, the airline is not obligated to pay you any compensation.
