Process: claim for United Feeder Service flight from Heraklion to London
No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If United Feeder Service didn't honour its scheduled times for your Heraklion - London flight, the law is on your side.
Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 2 733 km} is what counts, not the fare. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.
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.
