The union Verdi has called on Lufthansa ground staff throughout Germany to take part in a one-day warning strike. For this reason, there will be major restrictions in the Lufthansa flight schedule on Wednesday, 27 July.
On Tuesday, 26 July, Lufthansa will publish the cancellations in the system and try to find a solution for affected passengers. If you have left your mobile contact in your booking, Lufthansa will contact them in case of cancellation and rebooking.
In the current peak travel season, it may take longer to find an adequate rebooking solution. If you do not receive a message from Lufthansa, please check the current status of your booking. Here you can also adjust the rebooking again if you wish. Please also constantly check the
status of your flight on lufthansa.com.
Your flight is cancelled and you have received an alternative from Lufthansa?
If you have received information about a rebooking, we strongly recommend using this alternative. Please only contact a Service Center in emergencies if it is not possible for you to travel with the booked alternative flights.
Your flight is cancelled and you have not received an alternative from Lufthansa?
In this situation, Lufthansa recommends inquiring about an alternative via the self-service booking page
My Bookings. Please only contact a Call Center if you cannot find an alternative via this option either. Lufthansa advises against travelling to the airport in this situation, as only a few or no service counters are open at the airports due to the strike and you will probably not be offered an immediate alternative there either.
If your international flight to Germany is operating but your international onward flight from Frankfurt or Munich is cancelled, Lufthansa recommends a rebooking for another day. Should you still take your flight to Frankfurt or Munich without a confirmed alternative for the onward flight, there is a risk that you will not be able to continue your journey there for several hours or days. In such a case, please also consider visa regulations for entry into Germany. If you are able to arrange your own onward travel (e.g. rental car, bus, train), please keep all receipts for subsequent reimbursement of costs. The same applies to any hotel accommodation.
In the event of a cancellation of a domestic Lufthansa flight, you can
convert your ticket into a Deutsche Bahn ticket free of charge. It is highly recommended to reserve a seat during the peak travel season if you are using an ICE or IC train for your journey. If you have a connecting flight from Frankfurt or Munich that is cancelled, please refrain from travelling by Deutsche Bahn.
