Flight compensation Luxair:
Funchal — Luxemburg

Legal right to compensation: Luxair flight between Funchal and Luxemburg

If your trip departing from Madeira Airport and arriving at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport operated by Luxair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Madeira Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 671 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Funchal - Luxemburg is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Luxair offers you a voucher for your Funchal - Luxemburg flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 671 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

The impact of a strike on your Luxair compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Luxair staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Funchal - Luxemburg flight.

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

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
