United Feeder Service passengers Santiago-Mulhouse: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Santiago de Compostela Airport to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport flown by United Feeder Service was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the United Feeder Service flight Santiago → Mulhouse (1 350 km) entitles you to 250€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from United Feeder Service, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Mulhouse|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|United Feeder Service is responsible for|the fault lies with} United Feeder Service.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Santiago, the CE 261 applies equally.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Mulhouse.
• 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 "wildcat" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Santiago, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of United Feeder Service. Keep this in mind.

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