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

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Munich - Tbilisi flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 688 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Tbilisi International Airport (TBS)
  • Flight distance: 2 688 km (~3h22)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 - Tbilisi is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Tbilisi International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo MUC-TBS 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 Tbilisi.
  • 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

Don't be fooled by Lufthansa Cargo's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € 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?

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 400 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Tbilisi International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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 400 € compensation?

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

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Munich - Tbilisi line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
