My experience (so far) regarding a flight LH959 BHX (Birmingham)-FRA departing 0600 tomorrow (28 July): I had an email through today (27 July, strike day) at about 0930 telling me there'd be no food service on this flight, only beverages.

Immediately my alarm bells went off, particularly as I'd had the same flight number cancelled precisely a week earlier.

I called up the F line with my concerns, suggesting I move to the later LH953 0905 flight as that would still give me a little over two hours of padding in there to comfortably make my connection. A very helpful chap suggested that, unlike last week, it's highly likely that the physical plane is already at BHX, from Tuesday night's (26 July) incoming LH958, as it never left for this morning's (27 July) LH959 due to the strike.

After a bit of detective work, it seems he's very likely correct. Fingers crossed.
