Flight compensation Cyprus Airways:
Larnaca — Frankfurt

Get your Cyprus Airways flight compensation for the route Larnaca - Frankfurt

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Larnaca and Frankfurt with Cyprus Airways? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 636 km of flight, the company Cyprus Airways is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Cyprus Airways Larnaca - Frankfurt is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Cyprus Airways owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Cyprus Airways LCA-FRA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Larnaca.

What are the conditions for Cyprus Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Frankfurt.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Larnaca airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Cyprus Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Cyprus Airways compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Larnaca - Frankfurt trip is due to an internal strike within Cyprus Airways, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Larnaca, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Cyprus Airways.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Larnaca International Airport airport, Cyprus Airways is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Larnaca International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
