Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Moscow — Berlin

Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Moscow to Berlin

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 591 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 400 €?

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 Moscow - Berlin is eligible?

The compensation for flight VKO-TXL is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Vnukovo International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Moscow airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
