Claim and compensation for flight United Feeder Service Athens - Rome

Your claim for compensation for the United Feeder Service flight from Athens to Rome deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Athens and Rome (1 086 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by United Feeder Service.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like United Feeder Service.

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

To determine if your trip between Athens and Rome entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 086 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rome.
• 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...).
