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

The BOD - LIL route operated by United Feeder Service experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 698 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like United Feeder Service.

To determine if your trip between Bordeaux and Lille entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
