Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Budapest — Berlin

How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Budapest (BUD) - Berlin (SXF) line

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 686 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Budapest - Berlin is eligible?

The compensation for flight BUD-SXF is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Budapest 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

A work stoppage of United Feeder Service crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, United Feeder Service is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by United Feeder Service.
