I was told by the travel agent that this is the best they can do.
I was furious and contacted Lufthansa. Was initially told nothing can be done....told them I DO NOT accept the change. Next was offered PNQ-DEL-EWR with a wait time of 12 hours in Delhi airport. Again told them no. They can't expect two females wait at Delhi airport for 12 hours.
Finally, they gave me PNQ-DEL-JFK, which I reluctantly accepted....(not bad but what can I do?? better than getting my spouse's ire
)
Not sure why all of a sudden PNQ-FRA is cancelled....is this normal? or the sector is non-profitable?
I suppose it’s too late now, but you could have tried LH’s flight via Chennai, there’s an AI flight from PNQ-MAA (with a stop in HYD, no change of planes), that would only give you a few hours in MAA versus 12 in DEL.
