Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Munich — Vienna

Legal right to compensation: Lufthansa Cargo flight between Munich and Vienna

If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Vienna International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Munich and Vienna (355 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Lufthansa Cargo.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Lufthansa Cargo.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Vienna. If Lufthansa Cargo made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Vienna International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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 Vienna.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Vienna International 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Munich - Vienna flight.

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