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

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 434 km of flight, the company Lufthansa Cargo is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 1 434 km (~1h48)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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.
