Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Bordeaux — Lyon

How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Bordeaux (BOD) - Lyon (LYS) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Bordeaux and Lyon with United Feeder Service? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 464 km of flight, the company United Feeder Service is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

For an United Feeder Service flight from Bordeaux to Lyon, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Bordeaux, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

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 - Lyon trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Bordeaux or European air traffic control is an external cause over which United Feeder Service has no control.
