Delta flight from Atlanta to Manchester

Hello
In June we travelled (Myself, 2 other adults and 5 children under 8) by Delta from Memphis to Atlanta. This flight was delayed causing us to arrive at the gate for our connecting flight to Manchester too late (even though plane was still there..)Big stress and bad customer service by Delta but we got booked on flight 24 hours later and given hotel to stay in. What are the chances of getting compensation as not on an EU flight or travelling from EU country?

correct, you either need to be departing from an EU airport on any airline, or departing from outside the EU to the EU on an EU airline
Delay on a flight wholly outside the EU does not qualify irrespective or airline0
