This depends entirely on the status of your flights. Needless to say, if it has been cancelled before you need to be at the airport, you should speak with the airline by phone before heading to the airport for a potentially long wait. If you are in the airport or even at the gate when the delay happens, you will have to listen to the airline staff about what to do next.
Even if you now the flight is delayed, it is probably better to head to the airport on time because flight times are often subject to change.
The only time to avoid going to the airport is if you know for sure the flight is cancelled or rescheduled. Having to deal with a delayed flight is one thing but knowing that delay will likely cause you to miss a connection is a travel disaster. There are a couple of scenarios where the delay is out of your control, you may wondering what rights you have. If the connection is on the same airline of through a ticket share, the airline is likely to offer you seats on later flights.
Airlines also usually provide hotel and food vouchers if you need to wait for that new flight. We hand-pick everything we recommend and select items through testing and reviews. Some products are sent to us free of charge with no incentive to offer a favorable review.

Margaret 16 Mar It was the same itinerary through Expedia. Andrew D'Amours 16 Mar Dean 26 Feb Reply. If you go to the website of an airline and make a single booking, that includes two or more flights, that is it. If you miss a flight, you have to buy a new flight. Even if you have missed connecting flight due to delay of your previous flight.
With airline-protected transfers your destionation is your last destination, with self-transfers - destination of every single flight. Or if Lufthansa missed connecting flight? If your flight is late, you can get EU flight delay compensation. But what about missed connecting flight compensation?
