Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Mexico City — Munich

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Mexico City - Munich

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 9 845 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 600 €?

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Mexico City to Munich, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo MEX-MUC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Mexico City.

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 Mexico City 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 Mexico City - Munich 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 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
