Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Tel-aviv - Berlin
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Tel-aviv and Berlin with Lufthansa Cargo? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 871 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 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.

- Arrival airport: Berlin-Tegel International Airport (TXL)
- Flight distance: 2 871 km (~3h35)

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

-

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Tel-aviv, 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.
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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
What are your rights at Tel-aviv airport in case of prolonged wait?
