Your payout case for the United Feeder Service flight from Kos to London has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when United Feeder Service breaches its duties on the 2 679 km route from Kos to London.

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: Kos Airport (KGS)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 2 679 km (~3h21)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
