United Airlines flight delayed or cancelled? Claim up to €600

United Airlines operates transatlantic flights from Lisbon to Newark and other US hubs. EC 261/2004 applies to United flights departing from EU airports.

Claims reputation

United Airlines is relatively cooperative with EU compensation claims for EU-departing flights. They have a structured process and typically respond within 60 days.

Tips for claiming against United Airlines

  • US airlines don't have equivalent compensation laws — but EU law applies when departing from EU airports.
  • Lisbon to US destinations exceed 3500km, so you qualify for the maximum €600 compensation.
  • Keep your US customs/immigration records as additional proof of arrival time delay.
