Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Brussels - Milan
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Brussels - Milan flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 703 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo 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: Brussels Airport (BRU)
- Arrival airport: Linate Airport (LIN)
- Flight distance: 703 km (~0h53)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Brussels - Milan is eligible?
The compensation for flight BRU-LIN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Brussels Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milan.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brussels, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Brussels - Milan 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 Brussels 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 Brussels.
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 Brussels Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?
The amicable route with Lufthansa Cargo to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Lufthansa Cargo flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Airlines like Lufthansa Cargo sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Brussels can also be a way to get your funds faster.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Brussels - Milan line.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Lufthansa Cargo convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
