Delayed flights. Real compensation.

Lufthansa is Germany's flag carrier and one of Europe's leading full-service airlines, operating from its primary hub at Frankfurt Airport. Its expansive fleet of 262 aircraft spans Airbus A319s through A380-800s and Boeing 747-8s, with an average fleet age of 14 years — reflecting a network designed for short, medium, and ultra-long-haul flying. The airline serves over 200 destinations worldwide as part of the Star Alliance. Under EU regulation EC 261/2004, Lufthansa passengers on disrupted flights departing from EU airports may claim compensation of up to €600. Whether your Munich connection was missed or your long-haul departure significantly delayed, Lufthansa must comply with EU passenger rights obligations. EU Regulation EC 261/2004 entitles you to fixed compensation — regardless of what the airline tells you.
