Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Florence — Munich

How to be compensated by Lufthansa Cargo on the Florence (FLR) - Munich (MUC) line

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 507 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

The compensation for flight FLR-MUC is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
