It's much faster to drive to Marseille (~2h from Nice), catch a train to Paris (~3h), get on the train to FRA (~4h) or STR (~3.5h) and than on to MUC. On could arrive in MUC ~10-11pm tonight. :eek: Still a pain...

There is no answer so far....

From what I understand they did not shut down the airport but went for a procedure called "Nullsteuerung" according to "Der Spiegel". This will allow the airport authority to start service faster again.

I was just joking. Driving straight to Germany is about 10-8h depending where you are headed and how much respect you have for french speed traps.

btw: french rail is on strike. so there are not many options. :(

Hmm.
When I was IDB'ed yesterday on LH4157 and talking to the helpful station manager, I respectfully declined the offer on being put on the early flight. Because everything until LH 4155 was overbooked and because of my status he would have IDB'ed another fellow pax for me.
Standing next to a crying woman who just got IDB'ed, too (ok she was a btad mental, could have been a nice thread starter / one time poster here) I did not want to inflict that experience upon anyone in that moment just because of me and my entitlement. What would Kharma have in store for me, if I would have been ruthless?, I was reasoning..

Well, right now I would say My name is not Earl.

Oh really? I just paid the ticket for your suggested routing!
Thanks for that.. :p

I have a rental car reserved and in 5mins LH station management NCE will tell me, what to do.

Stuck in Germany
 

Have been trying to get back to the US. Looks like the MUC, FCO, MXP and ZRH flights have all been zerod out for tomorrow. Are those airports going to get closed as well?

Not yet, but the airlines are in a huge repositioning mess of aircraft and crews too !
This will take quite some time to sort out I fear.

Great spirit! Kudos to you!

Michelle,
does LH have any responsibility towards the pax that are stranded ?

In HKG I was told bluntly NO despite they said that they can only accomodate me again on the 19th ?

(we have gone a few rounds since - but that is where the DM left me initially...)

Cheers

Hello guys
As I assume many of you, I have been affected by the recent events. Unfortunately I could not get through the LH call centre in Britain and therefore I have cancelled my ticket on-line. A confirmation was displayed saying "Your refund cannot be displayed as it will be calculated manually". I have heard somebody saying that the system will only refund taxes minus administration fees. Any idea? I assume that, if it is going to be calculated manually, they will clearly see that my flight had been cancelled due to the recent disruption.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
With thanks in advance,
G

Do you guys think that until April 20 in the morning, flights will be back to normal?

if the train is not on strike ;)
