How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Lisbon (LIS) - Geneva (GVA) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Lisbon and Geneva with United Feeder Service? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 496 km of flight, the company United Feeder Service is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

A work stoppage of United Feeder Service crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, United Feeder Service is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company United Feeder Service will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
