Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Dubrovnik — Duesseldorf

Legal right to compensation: Lufthansa Cargo flight between Dubrovnik and Duesseldorf

If your trip departing from Dubrovnik Airport and arriving at Dusseldorf International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 303 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Lufthansa Cargo, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Dubrovnik - Duesseldorf is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Dubrovnik and Duesseldorf entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik - Duesseldorf trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Dubrovnik Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Lufthansa Cargo has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Lufthansa Cargo for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Dubrovnik remains valid. The hotel is due if Lufthansa Cargo offsets your flight by one night.

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

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

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

Don't take Lufthansa Cargo's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Lufthansa Cargo convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
