Refund and compensation Luxair: route Amilcar Cabral to Luxemburg

The SID - LUX route operated by Luxair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 4 496 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Luxair.

How to know if the flight Luxair Amilcar Cabral - Luxemburg is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Amilcar Cabral and Luxemburg entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 4 496 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Luxair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Luxemburg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amilcar Cabral airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Luxair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
