Flight Canceled or Missed? You Might be Eligible for Compensation

Travel teaches you a lot… sometimes the hard way.

Today, I want to share something that happened to me — and a lesson I wish I knew earlier.

I was flying from Frankfurt to Bilbao, with a quick stopover at Madrid airport. Both flights were with the same airline connection. But when my first flight got delayed, everything started going wrong:
By the time I landed in Madrid, my connection had already taken off without me.

It was 11:00 p.m., and the airline told us there were no food vouchers, no hotels, no help at all. I ended up sleeping on the cold floor of the airport — tired, uncomfortable, and honestly, pretty frustrated. I was supposed to arrive in Bilbao that same night. Instead, I had to wait until 6:00 a.m. the next morning for the next available flight. It wasn’t just an inconvenience — it messed with my entire trip plan, and I started my visit already exhausted.

Months later, I found out something surprising:
I could have been eligible for monetary compensation.
Some passengers from that flight might have filed claims, so a law firm later reached out to others — including me. Unfortunately, by then, I had already lost my booking details and couldn’t move forward with the claim.

I don’t want that to happen to you.
