Your EU rights in the event of a Lufthansa strike
Did you know that passengers on flights to or from the EU are protected by EU Regulation 261? This means that you as a passenger can claim compensation if your trip is delayed or canceled due to internal strikes.
EU 261 protects you if your flight was canceled with less than 14 days' notice or if a delay causes more than 3 hours of delayed arrival. You only need a confirmed reservation for your flight to be eligible.
