How to be compensated by Lufthansa Cargo on the Krakow (KRK) - Munich (MUC) line

From Krakow airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Munich didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 611 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo to pay you financial compensation.

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.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Krakow - Munich is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Munich International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Krakow 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 Munich.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Krakow airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
