United Feeder Service passengers Geneva-Porto: your guide to get compensated

The route GVA - OPO by United Feeder Service was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Don't miss this opportunity: the United Feeder Service flight Geneva - Porto (1 309 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA)
  • Arrival airport: Porto (OPO)
  • Flight distance: 1 309 km (~1h38)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Geneva - Porto is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Porto|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|United Feeder Service is responsible for|the fault lies with} United Feeder Service.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Geneva, the CE 261 applies equally.

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

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Porto.
  • 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

Be vigilant: United Feeder Service might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 250€}.

However, if ground handlers at Geneva Cointrin International Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 250€ are not owed.

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

What few know: the assistance obligation remains valid even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if United Feeder Service is excused from compensation, assistance remains mandatory.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Geneva still applies. The hotel must be provided if United Feeder Service delays your flight overnight.
