Imagine this itinerary: protected connection with four-hour final delay. It's a hypothetical example, not a real traveler story or verified payment.

What the example teaches
The final destination and single-ticket structure can matter more than the first leg’s shorter delay.
These assumptions don't produce a payment figure.
Try it with your own facts
Swap each assumption for what happened on your flight: the ticket, airline, notice, and actual arrival. Then check the official rule and use the airline's claim channel. This isn't a real traveler review.

This example is hypothetical. It doesn't show what an airline paid a real traveler.
