How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Barcelona (BCN) - London (LTN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Barcelona and London with United Feeder Service? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 191 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

  • Arrival airport: London Luton Airport (LTN)
  • Flight distance: 1 191 km (~1h29)
  • 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 - London is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at London Luton Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Barcelona International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

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

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