Does Lufthansa pay EU261 claims?

Lufthansa is legally required to pay. As a German-registered airline (Lufthansa Aktiengesellschaft, headquartered in Cologne), all their routes fall fully under EU261/2004. Lufthansa has a reputation for initially rejecting valid claims — persistence (or a claims service) pays off.

How long do I have to claim from Lufthansa?

You have up to 3 years from the date of your flight to submit a claim in most EU countries. In Germany specifically, the standard limitation period is 3 years. Don't wait — the sooner you claim, the easier it is to document.
