my flight KA615 from XIAMEN to HKG was 2 h 47 mins late because of "operational reasons". Instead of landing 9.45 p.m....I arrived at HKG 0:31 a.m.
This was the reason, I missed my flight CX383(scheduled 0:05) from HKG to Zurich.
CX booked me a new flight route. 1. CX257 HKG-LHR 2. BA718 LHR-ZRH.
Instead of a direct flight to ZRH, I had to fly over LHR. Instead of arriving 6.30 a.m. in ZRH, I arrived 7.45 p.m...a delay over 12 hours
Cathay told me that because of the new booking via LHR, CX fulfilled their obligations completely
For me, this is not okay. Next time I will fly SWISS
Well next time if its book in one ticket with a european airline you could claim EC261/2004
Sadly CX is base in HK and not europe and you are inbound to europe, so you are out of luck, hopefully you have travel insurance
