Refund and compensation United Feeder Service: route Krakow to London
The KRK - LGW route operated by United Feeder Service experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 410 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Krakow (KRK)
- Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
- Flight distance: 1 410 km (~1h46)

Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Krakow, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Krakow - London is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if United Feeder Service offers you a voucher for your Krakow - London flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Krakow, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Krakow 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 Krakow, 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
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Krakow - London trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Krakow, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.
What are your rights at Krakow airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Krakow terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.
In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Krakow airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from United Feeder Service?
For your Krakow - London trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by United Feeder Service staff at the Krakow counter during the incident.
If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from United Feeder Service. An expert can reduce this time by half.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.
If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
