Refund and compensation United Feeder Service: route Berlin to Southend
If your trip departing from Berlin and arriving at Southend Airport operated by United Feeder Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 882 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Berlin (SXF)
- Arrival airport: Southend Airport (SEN)
- Flight distance: 882 km (~1h06)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This is not a commercial gesture from United Feeder Service, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if United Feeder Service offers you a voucher for your Berlin - Southend flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
