How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Munich - Beijing is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Munich - Beijing flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Beijing Capital 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.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Munich 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.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Munich remains valid. The hotel is due if Lufthansa Cargo offsets your flight by one night.
