Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Madrid and Milano

Your claim for compensation for the United Feeder Service flight from Madrid to Milano deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 150 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
  • Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Flight distance: 1 150 km (~1h26)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a commercial gesture from United Feeder Service, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Milano. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Malpensa International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Madrid, the regulation applies in the same way.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Madrid, 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 Malpensa International Airport, 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.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Madrid - Milano section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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