Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Munich - Ronchi De Legionari

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 309 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Trieste / Ronchi Dei Legionari (TRS)
  • Flight distance: 309 km (~0h23)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 - Ronchi De Legionari is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo MUC-TRS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Munich.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Ronchi De Legionari.
  • 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

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

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?

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.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Munich International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Trieste / Ronchi Dei Legionari airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Lufthansa Cargo.

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

Airlines like Lufthansa Cargo sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Lufthansa Cargo on your smartphone.

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.
