How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Sofia (SOF) - Berlin (SXF) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 305 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Feeder Service to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Sofia - Berlin is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Berlin airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, United Feeder Service owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Sofia Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Sofia 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

If your United Feeder Service flight from Sofia Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

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