Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Munich - Faro
If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Faro Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
By taking off from Munich International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 038 km determines your legal compensation level.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
- Arrival airport: Faro Airport (FAO)
- Flight distance: 2 038 km (~2h33)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Lufthansa Cargo, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Munich - Faro is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Munich - Faro flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.
Also note that the distance of 2 038 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Faro.
-
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...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Munich, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Lufthansa Cargo staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Munich - Faro flight.
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.
Your forced stay at Munich shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MUC-FAO trip.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Lufthansa Cargo?
For your Munich - Faro trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Lufthansa Cargo staff at the Munich International Airport counter during the incident.
If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Lufthansa Cargo to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Lufthansa Cargo systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by Lufthansa Cargo is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.
For your 400 €, don't compromise with Lufthansa Cargo without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Munich.
