JTA — Nearly seven months after they were denied boarding in Frankfurt, a group of more than 100 Hasidic Lufthansa passengers are getting paid for their troubles.
The German airline is paying each passenger $20,000, plus $1,000 to reimburse them for expenses incurred during the May incident, according to Dan’s Deals, a US discount travel website, which first reported the incident at the time. After legal fees and some other expenses, each passenger will net approximately $17,400, the site reported Tuesday.
