Flight cancellation compensation?

[brums evil twin]

Not sure if I can, will be doing some reading when I get to the office. But

Booked to fly with emirates London Dubai HoChi Minh and took off last night from Heathrow. Half way through the flight I received a message that due to operational reasons my second flight had been re booked for 24 hours later.

Landed in Dubai and along with lots of lines, vouchers and other tired passengers I am now in a st airport hotel

No big deal except I was scheduled to arrive Sunday evening and now arriving Monday evening (only one flight a day from dubai to HCMC)

This means my work on Monday and the rest of the week is buggered. Consultant per day contract! I am loosing a days work.

Do I have any comeback? Recourse?

Thanks from a st hotel in dubai with no luggage and rude staff!

The old EU law we had still applies but double check if affected by connections

The law limits the compensation so everyone gets the same regardless of personal circumstance.
