unlikely - if you are in F then you'll still be able to enjoy all the 'spoils'! I'm flying the route through from IAD to FRA to HKG, only a few days afterwards.

Will the aircraft been in place for restarting service?
We are currently in Morocco and are scheduled to depart Casablanca at 1:20am on TUES. 23, March.
Will the plane actually be in the CMN airport so that they can resume regular service?
I understand that the transfer leg in FRA will surely be chaotic but I assume we will have better options to find some flight to SFO from FRA than from CMN?

However, as their catering service appears to be involved in this strike, they may not operate flights without meals...
