Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Valencia - Munich
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Valencia - Munich flight, the law is on your side.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 388 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: 1 388 km (~1h44)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Valencia - Munich is eligible?
For an Lufthansa Cargo flight from Valencia to Munich, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Valencia Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munich.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Valencia airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Valencia, 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.
Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Valencia, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.
What are your rights at Valencia airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Valencia Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Valencia Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.
