Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Frankfurt — Bucharest

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Frankfurt - Bucharest

If your trip departing from Frankfurt am Main International Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 449 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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 - Bucharest is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Frankfurt, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bucharest.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Frankfurt - Bucharest trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Lufthansa Cargo for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Frankfurt shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your FRA-OTP trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

For your Frankfurt - Bucharest trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Lufthansa Cargo staff at the Frankfurt am Main International Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Lufthansa Cargo sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Frankfurt can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Lufthansa Cargo's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

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