I wish they could have just published a list of the flights they expected to cancel instead of us all constantly refreshing and crashing their website. If your flight wasn't on the list you could rest easy at least for some hours to let all the information load into the system with less of a load. Maybe it doesn't work that way.....

i guess it is a process and not a fixed list. They might want to keep their options open.

PDF lists are sooo ..... analog. Today, everything needs to be dynamic, digital, online.
Just need to think about investments in hard- and software to support this :)

Flight cancelled...back on the phone to sort something out that could have been done yesterday or at least hours ago!

My protected segments still valid.

Have not received any notification and still shown as live in the MMB system, but I can see in GDS its binned.

Also, just issued my BP for cancelled flight a few secs ago... shows how slow system is to catch up.

My LH1242 for Friday just got cancelled as well. Damn, on the phone to get a rebook to Austrian or the like.

If your upgrade was confirmed call the F line, how you paid is immaterial

Yeah, most of domestic flights are cancelled because it's easy to switch to German rail.
Also many flights are cancelled from Frankfurt to London, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, Brussels, Zurich, Istanbul and so son, I can see now.
Long distance is Beijing...

Rebooking is done. As I already had protected segments it was a 30 second call for it to go off to ticketing.

Glad it worked for you after all the unessesary stress LH put you through, do give us a trip report & Bon Voyage

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Any reference for this statement? LH didn't want to discuss this... still looking at options, but even ECO flights starting to be booked out.

I got rebooked on both legs BLL-FRA-VIE to now BLL-CPH on SK and CPH-VIE on OS. Arriving 75 minutes later than original booking - better than so many other alternatives, I guess!

I have read somewhere on LH.com that because of the strike, the usual UE 261 compensation is not due. Is that really true? Is this situation not covered by compensation? I will arrive at my destination 2 days later, because of the rebooked flights.

The F line if that’s who you called of fully aware of that, you just refer them to your confirmation in F & the e-ticket
F line have the most flexibility with rebooking & ticket rules

Yes, it’s an official strike as the DE lower Court confirmed, so it’s extraordinary, rather like LH behaviour over this entire debacle

Saw that too, and I think that's a very sleazy move they're trying to pull on everyone.
EU261 isn't due in case of a strike by non-airline staff (say Eurocontrol or FRA staff).
EU261 is very much due in case of a strike by airline staff, which flight attendants most definitely are. Pretty sure there are multiple precedents. Also AF and BA paid compensations during their most recent strikes.
