Poll of the Day > I had a flight today with Airline A. They were late, missed my connection.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Airline A was delayed over an hour, plus they added an additional stop to the flight. Airline B was my airline for all connecting flights. Airline B refused to reimburse me because I was late.

Airline A has flights to my next destination that would get me there in time for my other connecting flights. Airline A refuses to give me tickets for free, I must pay for them (they're offering a 25% discount though, still several hundred dollars).

Who should have to pay?

Airline B has no obligation.

This is between you and Airline A.

This is why, when you can always have your connecting flights with the same airlines as they are more likely to accommodate for you in these situations

I agree completely. Usually I book with just one airline, but Airline B doesn't have flights to the remote location I was flying from.

I paid the $500 with Airline A to get to my next destination on time, because otherwise I'd be even more out of money by missing my other connecting flights. But this seems like highway robbery. Airline A has just earned an extra $500 BECAUSE they caused me to miss a flight.
