United Feeder Service passengers Bergen-London: your guide to get compensated

The route BGO - LGW by United Feeder Service was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Departure airport: Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 1 071 km (~1h20)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from United Feeder Service, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.
