Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Malaga — Liverpool

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

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 857 km of flight, the company United Feeder Service is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Malaga - Liverpool is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Malaga without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

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 Malaga airport.

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 Malaga - Liverpool trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malaga, United Feeder Service must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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.

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Liverpool John Lennon Airport 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?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from United Feeder Service. An expert can reduce this time by half.

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 - Liverpool line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
