Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Frankfurt — Accra

Legal right to compensation: Lufthansa Cargo flight between Frankfurt and Accra

The FRA - ACC route operated by Lufthansa Cargo experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 5 007 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Frankfurt - Accra is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Accra. If Lufthansa Cargo made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Kotoka International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 5 007 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 Accra.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Frankfurt airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
