Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Dubrovnik — Frankfurt

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Dubrovnik - Frankfurt

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Dubrovnik and Frankfurt with Lufthansa Cargo? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 114 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.

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 Dubrovnik - Frankfurt is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Frankfurt am Main 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 Dubrovnik 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 Frankfurt.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Frankfurt am Main 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 Dubrovnik Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Lufthansa Cargo to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Dubrovnik - Frankfurt section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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 €.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Lufthansa Cargo without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Dubrovnik.
