Missed flight compensation

Subscribe
On my return BGW-DOH-LHR inbound flight arrived late by more than 2hrs and while I had more than enough connection in Doha which was 2hrs15min but unfortunately it was due to the late arrival of the inbound flight I miss the connection in Doha and were booked on a hotel in Doha and punt in the next available QR flight next morning.

As a result from this delay I missed a very important meeting next morning and missed the pick up arrangements in LHR.

So wonder if I have any case of compensation here? Thanks.

Hi kmcbrid2,

During the EID Holiday, our staff in the customer relation department will be quite thin and hopefully they will respond to the enquiry as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Your flight is not covered by EU 261/2004, so I doubt you have any legal basis for compensation.

hmm... Why? The flight was bound into Europe? or is it due to the departure airport? My full itenerary was:

LHR-DOH
DOH-BGW
BGW-DOH-LHR

Flights FROM EU on non-community carriers are covered. Flights TO EU are not.
