Air Passenger Rights and Compensation
As a passenger flying with Lufthansa, your rights are protected under the European Union regulation EU 261/2004 (also known as EC 261). This regulation establishes clear rules regarding compensation and assistance in the event of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. These rights apply if your flight departs from an EU airport, or if you are flying into the EU with an EU-based airline like Lufthansa.
If your Lufthansa flight is delayed by more than 3 hours upon arrival, cancelled without sufficient notice, or if you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:
- For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per person
- For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per person
- For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per person
To be eligible, your Lufthansa flight must have originated from an EU member state or, if departing from outside the EU, must be operated by an EU airline such as Lufthansa and arrive at an EU destination. Compensation may not apply in extraordinary circumstances, such as extreme weather or air traffic control strikes.
In addition to financial compensation, you may be entitled to care and assistance during lengthy delays, including meals, refreshments, accommodation, and communication facilities. If your flight was cancelled or significantly delayed, Lufthansa must offer you the choice of reimbursement or re-routing under comparable conditions.
