So you had a weather delay. Nothing the airline can do. It could be the other flights were full.

Technically the airline doesn;t need to give you any reimbursement here. They are not liable since it was weather.
But on the connection that I wanted to take, there was room

I had a delayed flight cuz of a snowstorm, & missed my connection. I showed the airline staff flights on other airlines that would get me there that night, but was refused, & needed to wait another day to fly on their next flight to my destination. So A) am I elligable for reimbursement for the late departure? B) is the airline responsible for not booking me on the other airline, therefore it would be fair requesting reimbursement for late arrival?

Where can I find more info on how much I can legally claim in these circumstances. Tia

If it was a weather delay, wouldn't that have impacted all flights?

I landed late because of a storm in my departing city. And I was refused a earlier flight in the connecting city

Well, considering I submitted the complaint and had a response within about 4 minutes, I was too shocked to counter :)

From my search of this thread, it seems in line with what to expect.

5K UA miles, $75 voucher, 1500 miles, etc etc.
