Right to accommodation in case of delayed flight, missing connecting flight [duplicate]

A non-EU-citizen booked on a flight from outside the EU with a connection in Istanbul continuing into Europe experiences a flight delay of several hours due to bad weather on the first flight, and therefore misses the connecting flight in Istanbul. The connecting flight is re-booked to a flight one day later (>eight hours later). Both flights were booked with and are operated by the same airline.

According to http://marker.to/io9PYL and http://marker.to/jUNFOu there should be accommodation, food and compensation, unless the delay is due to bad weather, in which case they are still supposed to provide assistance.

What are the passenger's rights regarding accommodation, food, and compensation then?

Best Answer

as Ivan said did you book both flights together because as specified in an other post and also on this website if it is not the case then it becomes your problem and you won't have any right to pretend to any kind of compensation:

My connecting flights were booked separately. If my first flight is cancelled am I entitled to a refund for my other flight(s)? No. Bookings made separately are regarded as separate contracts and under the terms of the Regulation a refund will only be due for the cancelled flight. However if the bookings were all made with the same air carrier you may receive a refund at their discretion.

What happens if a delayed flight makes me miss my connecting flight?

What happens if a flight is delayed and 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.

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.
