A delay over 3 hours on United Feeder Service Bologna → London qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 127 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.
