Lufthansa has refused to compensate the members of two Swiss scout groups for a flight delay. The German airline first promised some members a payment and later withdrew it, as Tamedia writes. The airline sometimes cited the weather, sometimes operational and then other reasons entirely.

Last summer, the flight of 30 Swiss participants in the World Trail camp in South Korea and their leader teams was delayed by around 25 hours. Under certain conditions, the airline would have to pay compensation of 600 euros in such a case, Tamedia wrote. The delay was due to the weather and the crew's insufficient rest time, Lufthansa informed Tamedia.
