Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Lyon — Madrid

Get your United Feeder Service flight compensation for the route Lyon - Madrid

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Lyon - Madrid flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 912 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Feeder Service to pay you financial compensation.

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.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Lyon - Madrid is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Madrid Barajas International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Lyon without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Lyon 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Lyon - Madrid 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 Lyon, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. United Feeder Service must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Lyon.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Lyon and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
