How to Deal with the Lufthansa Strike

For those of you set to fly Lufthansa today or in the coming days, I feel your pain. A strike is in the air and both sides are doubling down on their positions. This gridlock will lead to more delays and cancelled flight, but already we see hundreds of cancelled flights for today and over 1,000 flights tomorrow.

Lufthansa is exchanging airplane tickets for Deutsche Bahn rail tickets and many–read tens of thousands–are taking advantage. I talked to my friend in Frankfurt this evening and she said that she had elected to travel by car south tomorrow, as thousands would be trying to cram onto high-speed ICE trains.

If you are affected by this strike, what can you do?

1. Postpone travel if possible This is the easy way and may not be possible, but if your Lufthansa travel is not essential, tomorrow would be a good day to skip. You may have to anyway.

2. If you booked your ticket with another airline, call them and see what other options are available Just because you are booked on Lufthansa does not mean you must travel on Lufthansa. If you booked your ticket with United Airlines, for example, they can put you on their own flights or Air Canada flights with little effort–you just have to ask. These flights are filling up fast and many are already zeroed out, so move fast if it looks like your flight is affected.

3. Seek help from an award expert I do not mention this merely to shamelessly plug Award Expert–my team and I can move quickly to help you get re-accommodated in case of flight cancellations. We cannot guarantee success, but we have direct lines to the airlines and can make things happen that most consumers cannot.

Here’s a look at slated flight cancellations today and tomorrow on Lufthansa. The list is constantly updated here.

I’m so glad that I am not flying LH this weekend, though I feel bad for the pax that will be stuck, or be forced to accept lesser accommodations to get home/to their destination.

As far as UA flyers, it sounds like it may be a good day for VDB $$$!

I booked an Aeroplan award and have a flights to FRA on LH today. Amazingly it is not cancelled. However, I have another flight out of FRA tomorrow. My concern is that the list of cancellations for tomorrow will grow, and that I will be stuck in FRA with no attractive alternatives. Do you think the list of cancelled flights for tomorrow is still growing? If you were in my shoes, would you try to avoid FRA altogether (even though my flight today is not cancelled) and ask aeroplan to rebook a new routing?

I had a buddy flying LH from FRA to LHR and they would ONLY rebook him on a LH group airline, he was put on most German Wings flights. He asked for a direct BA flight and they would not do it. LH cabin crews are going to kill the airline they work for.

@Bluto–I would avoid FRA if possible. What ended up happening?

@Damian–agree. so sad…

I went ahead and flew LHR-FRA on Friday and was lucky it did not get cancelled. They cancelled a whole bunch of the LHR-FRA flights before mine and all the ones after. I think the only difference to my flight was that it was operated by Lufthansa Cityline, which I did not realize until after I had booked it. I think that’s their regional carrier, which was not (?) as affected by the strike. I took a chance that my flight out of FRA to MCO today on LH was not cancelled, and it wasn’t. I definitely got lucky. At Heathrow, there were all sorts of makeshift whiteboards telling LH passengers that their flights were cancelled, and I saw some unfortunate passengers looking confused and concerned.

So, possibly one tip is to book LH Cityline operated flights where possible until these union issues die down.
