Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Munich — Dresden

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Munich - Dresden

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

By taking off from Munich International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 340 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Lufthansa Cargo.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Munich - Dresden is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Munich and Dresden entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Munich, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dresden.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Munich 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Munich - Dresden trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

If Munich International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Lufthansa Cargo, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
