How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Budapest (BUD) - London (LTN) line
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Budapest - London flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 492 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.

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

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by United Feeder Service staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Budapest airport in case of prolonged wait?
