Missed ground connection

Upvote:4

A friend of mine missed an expensive train connection within Germany after a 3-hour delay of the Helsinki-Munich flight. He contacted Lufthansa and complained about the situation, he got full compensation for the train tickets as well as a generous voucher that he can use the next time he's booking a Lufthansa ticket.

Long story short, contacting Lufthansa and telling about the situation in detail is your best bet. Send a copy of the receipts for any pre-booked connection or the taxi if available.

Your best option for recovering this expense is probably your travel insurance. It likely covers extra expenses incurred due to late or delayed transportation (particularly if you had pre-arranged transportation that you missed).
