Since the origin is non-Schengen, going through passport control is necessary and frequently long walks are involved. LH1293 is one of the airline's most unreliable flights, with an average delay of 23 minutes. The EU261 compensation rate must surely be considerable!
Yes, some of the unrealistic connections LH offers are nothing less than scandalous but of course they only pay compensation to those that persist in claiming it & have the wherewithal to do that ....
