Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Dublin - Newark
From Dublin Airport airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Newark didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 5 124 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo to pay you financial compensation.
Why are you entitled to 600 €?
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: Dublin Airport (DUB)
- Arrival airport: Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
- Flight distance: 5 124 km (~6h24)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
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 Dublin - Newark is eligible?
The compensation for flight DUB-EWR is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo DUB-EWR flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dublin.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Newark.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dublin airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Dublin, 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 Newark Liberty 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 Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Lufthansa Cargo?
The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Newark Liberty International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Lufthansa Cargo.
How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
On the DUB-EWR line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Lufthansa Cargo's legal department.
Recovering 600 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Lufthansa Cargo systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
An unfounded refusal from Lufthansa Cargo is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Lufthansa Cargo is often more striking.
