How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Boston - Munich is eligible?

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Boston airport.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Boston, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Munich International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Boston airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Lufthansa Cargo must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Boston.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
