Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Florence

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 720 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: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Arrival airport: Firenze / Peretola Airport (FLR)
  • Flight distance: 720 km (~0h54)
  • Applicable compensation: 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.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Frankfurt - Florence is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Frankfurt am Main International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Frankfurt, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

If your Lufthansa Cargo flight from Frankfurt am Main International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

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 Frankfurt - Florence flight.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Frankfurt am Main International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Lufthansa Cargo.

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

On the FRA-FLR line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Lufthansa Cargo's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Frankfurt - Florence section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Lufthansa Cargo is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
