Flight delay compensation, all other non-EU airlines

Caz3121

you deal with the operating airline that delayed you
I expect they will put the delay down to the sick passenger that needed removed so would not qualify for compensation
You should be able to send in your receipt for your meal and have that reimbursed under "duty of care"

If passenger illness was the cause of the delay, you wouldn't have a claim (except for incidental expenditure on meals and accommodation whilst travelling).

EDIT: Caz is too quick!

If the cab came at the end of your journey, then the airline is responsible for this or other "consequential" losses - only those incurred during the journey itself.

you could try your travel insurance. Your contract with the airline ends when they deliver you to your final airport

Unfortunately for this trip, i did not purchase a travel insurance.

So, it appears i am only entitled to meal voucher

You got me! I'll resign with immediate effect, of course.

You were fortunate that your only loss is a taxi fare. That could have been the least of your problems travelling to the US with no travel insurance!

Strongly agree with this. You'd have to be daft to travel to the US without insurance. It's not even like it costs that much either ...
