Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Frankfurt — Lisbon

Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Frankfurt to Lisbon

From Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Lisbon didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 874 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.

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 - Lisbon is eligible?

For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Frankfurt to Lisbon, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

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 400 €.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Lufthansa Cargo's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Frankfurt, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, Lufthansa Cargo must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Frankfurt am Main International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Lisbon Portela Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Lufthansa Cargo website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Lufthansa Cargo. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Lufthansa Cargo on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Frankfurt - Lisbon line.

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