Lufthansa provides compensation for flight cancellations under certain conditions. If your flight is canceled, you have the right to a refund or to be rebooked on another flight. Compensation is usually given if the cancellation was caused by the airline and you were informed less than 14 days before the scheduled departure. Extraordinary circumstances like bad weather, security issues, or strikes generally do not qualify for compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the distance of your flight. For flights up to 1,500 kilometers, the compensation is 250 euros. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, it is 400 euros. For flights longer than 3,500 kilometers, the compensation is 600 euros. To receive compensation, you must submit a claim to Lufthansa, providing your booking information and flight details. Besides compensation, Lufthansa must offer you assistance during the delay caused by cancellation. This includes meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation if needed, and two free means of communication like phone calls or emails. If you were informed about the cancellation at least 14 days in advance, or if you were offered an alternative flight that arrives within a certain time frame compared to your original flight, you may not be eligible for compensation. The rules also state that if the airline can prove the cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond their control, compensation is not required. Knowing these conditions helps you understand when you can expect compensation from Lufthansa for canceled flights and what support you should receive during disruptions.
