Refund and compensation United Feeder Service: route Lisbon to Liverpool

If your trip departing from Lisbon Portela Airport and arriving at Liverpool John Lennon Airport operated by United Feeder Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Lisbon Portela Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 688 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Lisbon Portela Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Lisbon - Liverpool is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Lisbon and Liverpool entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Liverpool.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by United Feeder Service staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Lisbon Portela Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Lisbon airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking United Feeder Service for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Lisbon remains valid. The hotel is due if United Feeder Service offsets your flight by one night.
