Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Munich - Hannover
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Munich - Hannover flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 480 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
- Arrival airport: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
- Flight distance: 480 km (~0h36)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Munich - Hannover is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Hannover Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Munich International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Hannover.
-
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
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Hannover 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.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Munich International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Munich airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Lufthansa Cargo must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Munich.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Munich International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?
The amicable route with Lufthansa Cargo to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Lufthansa Cargo flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
On the MUC-HAJ line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Lufthansa Cargo's legal department.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Munich - Hannover section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
An unfounded refusal from Lufthansa Cargo is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
For your 250 €, don't compromise with Lufthansa Cargo without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Munich.
