Procedure: United Feeder Service flight compensation from Mulhouse to Montpellier
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Mulhouse - Montpellier flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 525 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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.

- Departure airport: EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (BSL)
- Arrival airport: Montpellier (MPL)
- Flight distance: 525 km (~0h39)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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.

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
Don't be fooled by United Feeder Service's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
