Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Duesseldorf — Beijing

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Duesseldorf - Beijing

Your claim for compensation for the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Duesseldorf to Beijing deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Duesseldorf and Beijing (7 796 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Lufthansa Cargo.

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.

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 Duesseldorf - Beijing is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 7 796 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Beijing.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Duesseldorf 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

A work stoppage of Lufthansa Cargo crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Dusseldorf International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Dusseldorf International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

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

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