Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Munich — Pisa

Refund and compensation Lufthansa Cargo: route Munich to Pisa

If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 530 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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 - Pisa is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Munich - Pisa flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

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 Pisa.
• 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

A work stoppage of Lufthansa Cargo crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Munich International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Munich International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Munich to Pisa / San Giusto - Galileo Galilei International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Munich can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
