Get your United Feeder Service flight compensation for the route Geneva - Heraklion
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Geneva and Heraklion with United Feeder Service? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

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.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Geneva - Heraklion is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 400 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Heraklion.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Geneva airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Geneva, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
Don't be fooled by United Feeder Service's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
A strike by weather services at Geneva Cointrin International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which United Feeder Service has no control.
What are your rights at Geneva airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. United Feeder Service must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Geneva.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from United Feeder Service?
Getting justice against carrier United Feeder Service requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Don't take United Feeder Service's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
