Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Duesseldorf to Copenhagen
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Duesseldorf - Copenhagen flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 619 km of flight, the company Lufthansa Cargo is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
- Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
- Flight distance: 619 km (~0h46)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Duesseldorf - Copenhagen is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.
Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo DUS-CPH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Duesseldorf.

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Lufthansa Cargo staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
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 Duesseldorf - Copenhagen flight.
What are your rights at Duesseldorf airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Lufthansa Cargo must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Duesseldorf.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Dusseldorf International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
