Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Brussels — Munich

Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Brussels to Munich

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Brussels - Munich flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 597 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Lufthansa Cargo Brussels - Munich is eligible?

The compensation for flight BRU-MUC 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 Munich.
• 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...).

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 - Munich trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Brussels Airport, Lufthansa Cargo must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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