Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Nice — Munich

Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Nice to Munich

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Nice - Munich 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 630 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Nice to Munich, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Nice, 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 Munich.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nice 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 €.

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

What are your rights at Nice 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 Nice.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Nice and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
