LX 4876 (LX4876) is sold by SWISS. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

Does EU261 apply to SWISS flight LX 4876?

Who operates SWISS flight LX 4876?
In our data, SWISS is the airline selling LX4876. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.
Was LX 4876 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?
Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If LX4876 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (usually none).
