Procedure: United Feeder Service flight compensation from Geneva to Amsterdam
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Geneva and Amsterdam 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 682 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.

- Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
- Flight distance: 682 km (~0h51)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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.

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 €.
