Process: claim for Luxair flight from Copenhagen to Luxemburg

Your Luxair flight from Copenhagen to Luxemburg was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 795 km} is what counts, not the fare. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (LUX)
  • Flight distance: 795 km (~0h60)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Unlike what {many think|Luxair might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

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

The compensation for CPH→LUX is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

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 Copenhagen airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Luxair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Copenhagen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Luxair compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Luxair. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Copenhagen→Luxemburg flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

Here is what Luxair owes you during a prolonged wait at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.
