Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Dortmund — Munich

How to be compensated by Lufthansa Cargo on the Dortmund (DTM) - Munich (MUC) line

From Dortmund Airport airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Munich didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 461 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.

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 Dortmund - Munich is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Munich International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dortmund Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

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 Dortmund 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

If your Lufthansa Cargo flight from Dortmund Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Dortmund - Munich flight.

What are your rights at Dortmund 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 Dortmund Airport, Lufthansa Cargo must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Dortmund Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

Don't fill out complex forms on the Lufthansa Cargo website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by Lufthansa Cargo is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.
