.....if your flight delays because of bad weather you can't claim for compensation as it comes under Extraordinary Circumstance.

But what if the bad weather is just ordinary bad weather and not extraordinarily bad weather, can you claim then?

Thanks to everybody for replying. I knew austin9658 was wrong but being new didn't want to point it out.
I can't post a link here to a historic weather condition website as most of you will know but the weather when our inbound flight left it's origination was "broken clouds" with a SSW wind of 6.836 mph. At that I would suggest there was !!!! all wrong with the weather. Does the airline have to sustantiate that sort of claim or simpy do that and claim bad weather?
I shall pursue.....:j

That is completely incorrect. If you miss a connecting flight due to a late inbound aircraft even it is 20 minutes late then compensation may be payable (assuming reason for delay is covered, EU airline or departing EU etc) this is covered in the Folkerts judgment in the FAQs

The Folkerts Judgement – This judgement from the European Court in February 2013 determined that, for passengers on "directly connecting flights" whose first leg was delayed by less than three hours but who arrived at their final destination at least three hours later than the scheduled arrival time, then compensation under the Regulation is payable.

You will have arrived in MAN more than 3 hours after scheduled so, IF the delay was something within the airlines control then compensation would be payable. If however the delay was due to weather, then no EU compensation but you could try your travel insurance

Hi Caz3121,

Thanks for this post. In your post it states that, it must be 3 hours delay on the final destination to claim for compensation. But as goodlooker has written that "Instead of taking the flight from FRA to MAN the next day that the airline had booked us onto we elected to take a flight to London the same night". It means that goodlooker did not reach the final destination (MAN) on the same ticket. as he took another flight to reach another destination (London) then he took taxi to reach MAN. so my question is how delayed compensation applies here if he did not travel on the same ticket?

So, Will it not be considered as denied boarding for the second leg.

Denied boarding is when you turn up for a flight with a confirmed booking, the flight operates but the airline does not allow you to travel - eg overbooking situation
You cannot be denied boarding if you do not present yourself at the gate at the correct time
As OP said they missed the flight they were not denied boarding

If the bad weather is ordinary bad weather then why will airlines cancelled or delayed?

Caz please suggest an answer on this question...

I read this as the airline placed them on a flight to London that evening, not that the OP removed themselves from the airline's care and bought a new ticket on another airline. OP can maybe confirm
If the delay was weather related this in all immaterial and OP should look to their travel insurance for assistance
