Volcanic ash cloud impacts LH flight operations
OPERATIONAL - as of 10:45 ET 22APR

* Kont schedule back in place today
* Pax with confirmed bookings have first boarding priority, followed by waitlisted pax according to date of their canceled flight (transit waitlisted pax may be prioritized over local waitlisted pax); HON/SEN status etc helps as always
* Waitlist 50% improved today from yesterday
