If your flight is delayed and you miss your connecting flight, airlines typically rebook you on the next available flight. Your luggage is often re-routed automatically to your final destination, though it's always a good idea to confirm this with the airline staff. If there’s a substantial delay, the airline might offer accommodation or meal vouchers. Always keep your boarding passes and baggage claim tags handy for reference.
