Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Paris — Geneva

Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Paris and Geneva

If your trip departing from Paris-Orly Airport and arriving at Geneva Cointrin International Airport operated by United Feeder Service was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 394 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.

Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Paris-Orly Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Paris - Geneva is eligible?

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

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

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

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

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

If Paris-Orly Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of United Feeder Service, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
