Lufthansa flight delay compensation


Flight delay compensation from Lufthansa is available to passengers whose flights were delayed by 3 hours or more — and you could be entitled to up to €600, even if the flight eventually departed.

Thanks to EU Regulation 261/2004, Lufthansa passengers are protected by law when disruptions occur. In this article, we’ll explain when you’re eligible, how much you could receive, and how to file a claim in just a few minutes.



✅ When Can You Claim Compensation from Lufthansa?

You’re likely eligible if your Lufthansa flight:

  • Was delayed by 3 hours or more at your final destination

  • Departed from the EU (or arrived in the EU on a Lufthansa aircraft)

  • Was not delayed due to extraordinary circumstances, like severe weather, political unrest, or airport staff strikes



💰 How Much Compensation Can You Get?

The amount depends on the flight distance and length of delay:

Up to 1,500 km

3+ hours

€250

1,500–3,500 km
