Flight Compensation?—Missed Connection Flight

Flight Compensation?—Missed Connection Flight - Flight Schedule Screen Turned on

I had missed the connection flight from Warsaw (WAW) to Belgrade (BEG) due to a delay of the first flight from London (LHR) to Warsaw. The delay was an hour approximately.

I then had to wait 3 hours in the queue of the airport in Warsaw where they offered me to stay one night in a hotel then fly to Austria and then to Serbia the next morning. In other words, the final destination was reached 3 or more than 3 hours later due to a missed connecting flight.

My first question is, according to Under EU Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, how much am I entitled to get compensation for? From what I have checked so far it is €400 and I would like to confirm that.

Also, I have directly contacted the airliner via email providing the e-tickets. Do I need to add anything else? as I will try not to use any legal website that can represent me under a fee.

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 am I entitled to if my flight is delayed and I miss my connection?

If you are connecting on a different airline, airlines are not required to provide compensation if a delay on the first flight causes you to miss your connection. However, if your first flight is delayed for more than 3 hours, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline that caused the delay.

What happens if I miss my connection flight?

If you miss your connection booked with the same airline of your first flight and the issue is due to a delayed take off or anything else that's in the hands of your airline, it's the airline's responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight.
