Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Malaga — Berlin

How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Malaga (AGP) - Berlin (SXF) line

From Malaga airport, your departure with United Feeder Service to Berlin didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 243 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Feeder Service to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Malaga - Berlin is eligible?

For an United Feeder Service flight from Malaga to Berlin, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Malaga, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

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

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

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 400 €.

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Malaga 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 Malaga.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from United Feeder Service?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Berlin airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual United Feeder Service flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Malaga to Berlin can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the United Feeder Service flight from Malaga can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Malaga - Berlin line.

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 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
