Get your United Feeder Service flight compensation for the route Lisbon - Berlin
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Lisbon - Berlin flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 305 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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.

- Departure airport: Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)
- Arrival airport: Berlin (SXF)
- Flight distance: 2 305 km (~2h53)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Lisbon - Berlin is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Berlin 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 Lisbon Portela Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lisbon 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 Lisbon, 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
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Lisbon - Berlin flight.
