Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Tromso — Alta

Legal right to compensation: Lufthansa Cargo flight between Tromso and Alta

If your trip departing from Tromso and arriving at Alta Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 174 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Lufthansa Cargo is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Tromso, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Tromso - Alta is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Lufthansa Cargo offers you a voucher for your Tromso - Alta flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Tromso, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alta.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tromso 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 Tromso, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Lufthansa Cargo for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Tromso remains valid. The hotel is due if Lufthansa Cargo offsets your flight by one night.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Lufthansa Cargo on your smartphone.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Tromso - Alta line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Lufthansa Cargo will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
