Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Miami - Frankfurt
If your trip departing from Miami International Airport and arriving at Frankfurt am Main International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 7 764 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Miami International Airport (MIA)
- Arrival airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
- Flight distance: 7 764 km (~9h42)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
Did you know? Even if Lufthansa Cargo is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Miami International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Miami - Frankfurt is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Miami - Frankfurt flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Miami, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Frankfurt.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Miami airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Miami, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Frankfurt am Main International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
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 Miami - Frankfurt flight.
What are your rights at Miami 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 Miami International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Lufthansa Cargo?
It is strongly recommended to keep your Lufthansa Cargo boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Miami International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.
This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 600 € without stress.
How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Lufthansa Cargo customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.
The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by Lufthansa Cargo is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 600 €.
For your 600 €, don't compromise with Lufthansa Cargo without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Miami.
