Refund and compensation United Feeder Service: route Sofia to London

Your claim for compensation for the United Feeder Service flight from Sofia to London deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 012 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Sofia Airport (SOF)
  • Arrival airport: London Stansted Airport (STN)
  • Flight distance: 2 012 km (~2h31)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a commercial gesture from United Feeder Service, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between Sofia and London entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Sofia, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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?

Don't buy your food without first asking United Feeder Service for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
