First leg delayed, skipped delayed last leg - Can I claim compensation? [closed]

I was recently flying from Tokyo Narita (NRT) to Prague (PRG) with a connection in Warsaw (WAW), with LOT Polish Airlines (single booking). The NRT->WAW flight was delayed by 6h30m. Hence we missed the WAW->PRG flight and were offered the flight following morning. However, we did not take it and decided to stay in Warsaw as flying to Prague the next day would be pointless in our case.

Can we count on compensation in this case? If yes, to what extent? Does the fact we did not take the next-day WAW->PRG flight change anything in terms of possible compensation?

Can I claim compensation if I miss a connecting flight?

If a flight delay leads to a passenger missing a connecting flight, and the delay at the final destination is 3 hours or more than 3 hours, they have a valid claim for compensation.

What happens if a delay makes you miss your connection?

If you miss your connection due to a delay, usually the airline is responsible for providing you with a replacement flight to your destination. They will have to book you on the earliest possible flight available.

How long of a delay before you get compensation?

For flights within the U.S., if you are delayed on the tarmac for more than 3 hours, you are entitled to compensation per the DOT guidelines.

How do you get compensated for a delayed flight?

There are no federal laws requiring airlines to provide passengers with money or other compensation when their flights are delayed. Each airline has its own policies about what it will do for delayed passengers. If your flight is experiencing a long delay, ask airline staff if they will pay for meals or a hotel room.
