How to be compensated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Luxemburg (LUX) line

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to Luxemburg didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 315 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Arrival airport: Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (LUX)
  • Flight distance: 315 km (~0h24)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Amsterdam - Luxemburg is eligible?

For an KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Luxemburg, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Amsterdam, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 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 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
