Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Duesseldorf — Malaga

Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Duesseldorf to Malaga

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Duesseldorf - Malaga flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 853 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Duesseldorf - Malaga is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malaga airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dusseldorf International Airport, the 400 € 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 Malaga.
• 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...).
