If your flight from Faro Airport to London Luton Airport flown by United Feeder Service was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

With 1 757 km between Faro Airport and London Luton Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Faro Airport (FAO)
  • Arrival airport: London Luton Airport (LTN)
  • Flight distance: 1 757 km (~2h12)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from United Feeder Service, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

When a strike impacts your route to London Luton Airport, {the airline|United Feeder Service} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Faro Airport, United Feeder Service is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.
