The Lufthansa flight LH272 from Frankfurt to Milan Linate was cancelled without explanation, forcing passengers to postpone their trip.

- 250€ for flights less than 1.500 km
- 400 for flights between 1.500 km and 3.500 km
- 600 for flights over 3.500 km

Frequently asked questions
Does bad weather or a strike rule out compensation?
Severe weather and strikes outside the airline, such as air traffic control strikes, are extraordinary circumstances. Strikes by the airline's own staff and technical faults normally are not.
How long do I have to claim?
You can claim months or even years after the flight: the time limit depends on the country. It is better not to wait, as documents get harder to find.
How much does the service cost?
Checking your flight is free and you pay nothing if no compensation is paid. If we win, we keep 25% + VAT.
Can I also get my ticket refunded?
If the flight is cancelled, or the delay is over 5 hours and you decide not to travel, you can also ask for a ticket refund on top of compensation.
Are children entitled to compensation?
Yes, every passenger with a ticket is, children included. Only infants travelling for free are excluded.
