The fabulous Mrs. xyzzy + 2 xyzzylettes did CGN-EWR yesterday.

She told me that there was no duty free on board due to the strike, at least that was the explanation on board. Of course, I can't really prove or disapprove of that but it doesn't sound very convincing to me.

The strike didn't start until midnight last night, so there is no reason for Lufthansa Sky Chefs to not equip that flight with duty free... To me it sounds like a lame excuse for something different.

So far, everything runs smoothly so far for Lufthansa, I guess it will look different further in the day.
