How to be compensated by Lufthansa Cargo on the Mulhouse (BSL) - Frankfurt (FRA) line
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Mulhouse and Frankfurt with Lufthansa Cargo? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 282 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 250 €?
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.
