So far the LH website remains remarkably empty of details other than wednesday no strikes were planned. I keep checking but... I just need to make it to Athens and Aegean runs that route from FRA....

Just hear on the news that UFO wants to announce strikes 7 to 6 hours in advanced. I think this is just plane wrong. Any idea if a rebooking on Germanwings is possible if they offer the same route?
Sorry UFO guys. I don't separate between pilots, technicians, cabin crew or ground personal. You all are the face and representatives of Lufthansa to the client and with this strike you will make Lufthansa look really bad including yourself.

You could be protected on SQ connecting in BCN/LHR.

I'm flying JNB-FRA-BOS tomorrow. Is the strike likely to affect the first leg out of JNB? Are the staff currently abroad also striking?
If they do change my routing with SA perhaps, might they put me on a JNB-JFK or JNB-IAD flight? If that is the case would it be a high fare class (150% EQM on UA MP)?
Please excuse the multiple questions.
Thanks,
LH's first priority will be to make sure long haul flights operate as close to normal as possible so your odds increase that things will go well fromm JNB to FRA and on to BOS. Odds improve, but do not assure anything.

there are no details because LH won't know much until UFO announces something a few hours before the action.

Very stressed and don't want to fly UA tatl
I will be on a paid LH F ticket flying SFO-FRA-CDG (FRA-CDG in J) next month.
Since I paid $10K+ for my ticket, I don't want to fly UA F on my transatlantic flights!!
Will LH be more likely to reroute me SFO-ZRH-CDG (or perhaps SFO-JFK-ZRH-CDG or SFO-ORD-ZRH-CDG) on LX instead?
I will be sure to tell them "I don't want to fly UA on transatlantic flights" if my SFO-FRA flight gets cancelled.
Assuming the SFO-FRA doesn't get cancelled and I make it to FRA and my FRA-CDG LH flight gets cancelled instead, will they insist I fly FRA-ZRH-CDG on LX (since it is also star *), put me on a train to Paris or reroute me on Air France?

These are all "Million Dollar Questions" that we won't have good answers for! there's always the train from FRA to CDG
UFO just stated that there will be no strike actions on Thursday but to expect them on friday with 6 hours notice.
interesting threat from Nicoley Baublies:
"Now we just want to announce that there will be one other surprise, because the strike will take place at the place where the responsibility for the current Lufthansa disaster began." (via google translate)
Great and i fly on friday. 6 hours notice thats akin to terrorism. And the supposed costs of 25 million per day for lufthansa - wouldnt that equal the 1.5 (3 % in real terms) that is missing in the negotiations?
I already executed a plan B for this weekend travel.....
I still keep my reservation(bought thru Expedia USA) on LH for just in case.
If I do "no show", any penalty for me(other than whole ticket $ on LH)?
I have no status/no miles/no account on LH.
If they don't cancel - you will not get anything - I guess its like missing a flight. If you have travel insurance, you might want to check with them and see what they advise.
I ironically was able to check in using OLCI just now for the INN-FRA-ATH leg. I will certainly go to FRA and if it gets cancelled can utilise Travel Insurance and Company CC to get me to where I need to go, BUT the next question is luggage. Had planned to check it through to FD but if they cannot confirm the flight I might need to go through the hassle of picking up my bag in FRA and recheck the luggage
when up front
