Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Tokyo — Frankfurt

How to be compensated by Lufthansa Cargo on the Tokyo (HND) - Frankfurt (FRA) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 9 361 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Lufthansa Cargo to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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 Tokyo - Frankfurt is eligible?

For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Tokyo to Frankfurt, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Tokyo International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Frankfurt.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tokyo 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Lufthansa Cargo staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

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 Tokyo - Frankfurt flight.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Tokyo International Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Tokyo International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
