Lufthansa delay compensation
Lufthansa Group carriers (Lufthansa, Eurowings, Swiss, etc.) are subject to EU261 on applicable routes.
Tips for Lufthansa claims
- Long-haul Frankfurt/Munich delays often fall in the €600 band.
- If rebooked onto a partner airline, rights may still apply to the original booking.
- Document denied boarding and downgrade situations separately.
Compensation amounts
On qualifying routes, fixed compensation is typically €250 (short haul), €400 (medium), or €600 (long haul) per passenger when arrival delay is 3+ hours and extraordinary circumstances do not apply. Estimate yours with the calculator or read how to claim.
