Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Montreal — Paris

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Montreal - Paris

From Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Paris didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 5 523 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
• 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.

A strike by weather services at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Lufthansa Cargo has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Lufthansa Cargo must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Montreal.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Lufthansa Cargo flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Montreal to Charles de Gaulle International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Montreal can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Lufthansa Cargo's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Lufthansa Cargo will always prefer to compromise and pay the 600 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
