Yes, Lufthansa does offer compensation for flight cancellations under certain circumstances. If your Lufthansa flight is canceled, your right to compensation largely depends on the reason for the cancellation and how much notice you were given. According to European Union Regulation EC 261/2004, if your flight was departing from an EU airport or operated by an EU-based airline like Lufthansa, you may be eligible for compensation ranging from €250 to €600. This applies when the cancellation occurs less than 14 days before departure and is not due to extraordinary circumstances like severe weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes.

Lufthansa typically offers passengers a choice between rebooking on an alternative flight at no extra cost or receiving a full refund of the unused ticket. In addition to financial compensation, the airline may also provide care, including meal vouchers, accommodation, and transport to and from the hotel if necessary, especially for longer delays caused by cancellations.

If your flight was canceled due to airline-related reasons such as technical issues or crew shortages, compensation is more likely to be granted. However, if you were informed more than two weeks in advance, or the reason falls under extraordinary circumstances, compensation may not be applicable.

To claim compensation, passengers must contact Lufthansa's customer service or file a claim online through their website. Supporting documents such as flight tickets, boarding passes, and proof of expenses should be kept handy. It’s also advisable to follow up if a response isn’t received within a few weeks.
