Procedure: United Feeder Service flight compensation from Athens to Geneva

From Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, your departure with United Feeder Service to Geneva didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 731 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Arrival airport: Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA)
  • Flight distance: 1 731 km (~2h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Athens - Geneva is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Geneva Cointrin International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Geneva.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Athens airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Athens, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
