Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Santiago — London

Process: claim for United Feeder Service flight from Santiago to London

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If United Feeder Service didn't honour its scheduled times for your Santiago - London flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 1 108 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges United Feeder Service to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at London Gatwick Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 250€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Santiago de Compostela Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

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 Santiago airport.
• 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

Don't be misled by United Feeder Service's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by ATC services at Santiago de Compostela Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which United Feeder Service has no control.

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

Here is what United Feeder Service owes you if your flight is delayed at Santiago de Compostela Airport: refreshments and food adapted to waiting time, two free communications, and a hotel night if the flight is pushed to the next day.

If you advanced money for a taxi at Santiago de Compostela Airport due to United Feeder Service's disruption, compile all invoices. You can request reimbursement of these costs independently of the 250€ compensation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from United Feeder Service?

Don't underestimate the resistance from United Feeder Service. Between evasive replies and department transfers, the claim is designed to discourage you if you're unsupported.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The irony: the longer United Feeder Service stalls paying your 250€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.

By opting for a platform with no upfront costs, you have nothing to lose. If the 250€ case fails, you pay nothing. It's that simple.

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

It is not uncommon for United Feeder Service's algorithms to automatically reject your first attempt under a vague excuse without merit.

If you are certain of your legal right, you can contact the Civil Aviation Authority of the departure country, or more effectively, take the case to a tribunal with a expert partner lawyer.
