Refund and reimbursement for United Feeder Service: Mykonos to London

The endless wait at Mikonos Airport towards London with United Feeder Service doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Mikonos Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 2 519 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Mikonos Airport (JMK)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 2 519 km (~3h09)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Mykonos - London is eligible?

To verify if your journey between Mykonos and London qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at London Gatwick Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 2 519 km fully justifies the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|United Feeder Service} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

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

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Mykonos airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Mykonos, 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

Don't be misled by United Feeder Service's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

An aviation law expert can quickly determine whether the strike that disrupted your United Feeder Service Mykonos-London flight was the airline's responsibility or a third party's.

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

Once the delay exceeds the legal trigger, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, United Feeder Service is obliged to deliver the required assistance to every passenger{s} stranded at Mykonos.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Mikonos Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.
