Procedure: United Feeder Service flight compensation from Lisbon to Milano

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 652 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)
  • Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Flight distance: 1 652 km (~2h04)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

Keeping your travel documents for the United Feeder Service LIS-MXP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Lisbon.

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

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

Don't be fooled by United Feeder Service's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Lisbon, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Lisbon Portela Airport airport, United Feeder Service is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Lisbon Portela Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by United Feeder Service.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
