EU261 claim - Lufthansa
Lufthansa has hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. Strikes, ATC restrictions and technical failures are the usual causes of delay. Reliance on extraordinary circumstances for a strike by the carrier's own staff is strictly assessed by courts.
What to do in case of a delay with Lufthansa?
- Keep your boarding pass and booking confirmation - you will need them as evidence.
- Ask at the gate for the cause of the delay (technical / weather / strike) - useful later.
- Check your rights with our free eligibility check - takes 30 seconds.
- If you sign through, we will claim on your behalf with Lufthansa - with a country-specific check before an enforcement or ADR route is used.

What if this airline refuses to pay?
If no reply arrives, we send a neutral reminder. If the claim is refused, we assess the reasoning and, after a country check, the competent national enforcement or ADR route. Court proceedings fall outside year 1.
