Luxair passengers Amilcar Cabral-Luxemburg: your guide to get compensated

The route SID - LUX by Luxair was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

With 4 496 km between Amilcar Cabral and Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 600€ per passenger.

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.

The impact of a strike on your Luxair compensation
