Get your United Feeder Service flight compensation for the route Barcelona - Geneva
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Barcelona - Geneva flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 637 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Feeder Service to pay you financial compensation.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
- Arrival airport: Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA)
- Flight distance: 637 km (~0h48)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Barcelona - 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 250 €.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Barcelona International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?
-
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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona, 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
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Geneva Cointrin International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Barcelona International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Barcelona International Airport, United Feeder Service must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Barcelona International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from United Feeder Service?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Barcelona - Geneva section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from United Feeder Service should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against United Feeder Service is often more striking.
