Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Frankfurt — Valencia

Refund and compensation Lufthansa Cargo: route Frankfurt to Valencia

Your claim for compensation for the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Frankfurt to Valencia deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 371 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Lufthansa Cargo.

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

To determine if your trip between Frankfurt and Valencia entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Valencia.
• 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 - Valencia trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Frankfurt am Main International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Lufthansa Cargo has no control.

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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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