Hi everyone

I think you will find as per my post No 10 above that as the link in my post No 10 say's :

"Legislation for compensation rules in EU Regulation 261/2004 has been clarified for passengers having transfer flights outside of the EU. Previously compensation would only be awarded to passengers dealing with missed connections in the EU, but the European Court of Justice has ruled that passengers of problem flights outside of the EU, part of journey that commenced in the EU, are entitled to compensation for arrival delays of three hours or more. "

The link goes on to explain further. So I think it is at least worth checking out.
