Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Rhodos — Liverpool

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

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 040 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Rhodos - Liverpool is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the United Feeder Service RHO-LPL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rhodos.

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.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Rhodos 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 Diagoras Airport, United Feeder Service must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Diagoras Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by United Feeder Service.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take United Feeder Service's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company United Feeder Service will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
