Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Zurich — Duesseldorf

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Zurich - Duesseldorf

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 444 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 Zurich, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Zurich - Duesseldorf is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 444 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Lufthansa Cargo's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Zurich or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Lufthansa Cargo has no control.

What are your rights at Zurich 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.

Your forced stay at Zurich shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ZRH-DUS trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

Starting a procedure against Lufthansa Cargo for a flight from Zurich to Duesseldorf can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Lufthansa Cargo. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Lufthansa Cargo flight from Zurich can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 Zurich - Duesseldorf line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Lufthansa Cargo convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
