Lufthansa CityLine Flight Delays Compensation
When your international flight with Lufthansa CityLine is delayed, there is a chance that you’re eligible for a compensation. But because Lufthansa CityLine is not a European airline, this applies only to their flights departing from Europe, not to flights leaving from out of Europe and arriving in Europe.
Why can you hope for a compensation in these cases? Because the EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC261 in short) protects your passenger rights. The airline (probably) hasn’t told you about those - few airlines do, especially non-EU airlines.
So next time your flight from Europe with Lufthansa CityLine is delayed, take the time to verify whether you’re eligible: you may get up to 600€ from the airline. Just fill out our calculator and you will know in less than 3 minutes what you can hope for!
