Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Munich — Milano

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Munich - Milano

From Munich International Airport airport, your departure with Lufthansa Cargo to Milano didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 381 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malpensa International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Munich International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
• 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 - Milano trip is due to an internal strike within Lufthansa Cargo, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Munich, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Munich International Airport, Lufthansa Cargo must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Munich International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
