Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Bordeaux — Bristol

Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Bordeaux and Bristol

If your trip departing from Bordeaux and arriving at Bristol International Airport operated by United Feeder Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Bordeaux, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 744 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Bordeaux, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Bordeaux - Bristol is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bristol. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bristol International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bristol.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bordeaux airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Bordeaux - Bristol trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Bordeaux, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

What are your rights at Bordeaux airport in case of prolonged wait?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Bordeaux - Bristol line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company United Feeder Service will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
