Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Montreal — Geneva

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Montreal - Geneva

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

Given the route between Montreal and Geneva (5 905 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Lufthansa Cargo.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Lufthansa Cargo, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Montreal - Geneva is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Montreal - Geneva flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € 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 Geneva.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Montreal 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 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Montreal, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau 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 Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 600 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

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