Have you missed your connecting flight?

Have you ever fall in such situation where your connecting flight missed due to delayed initial flight? If yes then you don’t need to worry as there is a subtle solution for this situation. There can be two situations when you can miss your connecting flight:

Missing your flight due to delayed initial flight

If you missed your flight because of airlines fault which can be a delayed initial flight for any reason like due to mechanical problem etc. In this case airlines will be obliged to rebook you on the next available flight. If the next available flight is next morning then meals and accommodation might be provided by the airlines but this is not mandatory on the part of the airlines.

There can be two cases for the same situation:

  1. Case 1: When you book the ticket with the same airlines In this case when you book the ticket with the same airlines under the same booking number then airlines will take the full responsibility and help you rebook on the next available flight.
  2. Case 2: When you book the ticket with different airlines In this case when you book the ticket with different airlines and you have two separate booking numbers then airlines will consider it as two separate tickets and not take the responsibility for delayed initial flight.

However bad weather and mechanical problems are not in your control. In such case you can take steps to make your connection. Always keep in mind to take extra more time in between flights for the connection.
