Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Toronto to Copenhagen
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Toronto - Copenhagen flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 6 269 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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
- Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
- Flight distance: 6 269 km (~7h50)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Toronto - Copenhagen is eligible?
For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Toronto to Copenhagen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation
