Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Mulhouse — Bordeaux

Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Mulhouse and Bordeaux

If your trip departing from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport and arriving at Bordeaux operated by United Feeder Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 704 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like United Feeder Service.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Mulhouse - Bordeaux is eligible?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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