The Lufthansa considered that the passenger had breached its terms and conditions of sale and called to court for a compensation of 2 112 euros, which is the difference between the price of his ticket (657 euros) and that would have cost a direct flight (2769 euros). A court in berlin has, however, dismissed the claims made by the company in mid-December last year. A reasoned decision, according to BFMTV, by the inability of the judges to get the part of Lufthansa the justification for the recalculation exact leading to the required sum. A spokesman for the company, however, has confirmed to CNN that the company had already lodged an appeal against this decision.
