Surely OP will be eligible for maximum delay compensation if they miss the connection due to BA changing the schedule, and can’t fly home until several hours later?

A few years ago our flight from JFK was delayed setting off, arrived back at LHR 2 hours late, but we missed our connection a got back to MAN 5 hours late. We both got the full 600 euros compo, as it was then.

No, because they have been given more than 14 days notice of the schedule change. They get Right to Care but no compensation.

@NIB – the 35 minute conformance deadline is based off the scheduled time, not any actual/delayed departure time.

@JDB. Are you sure? As things have been set out, BA have ticketed a route with a certain arrival time. They have notified a change, so notified a new arrival time. So far so good. On the day of travel, passenger misses (impossible) connection and therefore arrives late at final destination. This is entirely the airline’s fault. Does this not give rise to compensation? Just musing – I’m sure you’ll put me straight…
