Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Berlin — Zurich

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Berlin - Zurich

Your claim for compensation for the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Berlin to Zurich deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Berlin-Tegel International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 660 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Lufthansa Cargo.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Berlin - Zurich is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Zurich. If Lufthansa Cargo made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Zurich, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 660 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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