Rebooking waiver issued November 5, 2019 for the strike to occur on November 7-8, 2019
LH advises you what do in case of irreg cancellations here: https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/flight-disruptions
UFO has called on its cabin crew members for a two-day strike on 7 and 8 November. Lufthansa condemns the UFO's call for a strike in the strongest possible terms and is considering legal steps to prevent the strike. We are currently working at full speed on a special flight plan for Thursday and Friday which will be published on Wednesday. We apologize for any inconvenience that may arise.
Please check this website regularly, leave your mobile number in your Miles & More profile or in your booking and you will automatically be informed about the latest changes.
Your flight has not yet been cancelled, but you still want to change to another day or the train?
In order to give you planning security, we now offer you a free rebooking in the following cases
If you are booked on a domestic Lufthansa flight, we offer you a free exchange of your flight route for a train ticket on this page.
If and when a particular strike begins and flights are actually beginning to be cancelled/automatically rebooked, you can call or use facebook messenger ( https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/chatbot ) and ask for a rebooking/rerouting. If your ticket was issued by a travel agent or different airline, you are advised to contact the issuing office.
LH usually rebooks to other LH Group carriers, any star alliance carrier or other IATA airline it has an interline agreement with. The preference to do so is in the same order and done only if the preferred alternative doesn't have any free seats in the class of service (not booking class). Award bookings are treated the same way, although you may be requested to contact the issuing carrier for reissuing the ticket. LH issued tickets are usually reissued using the ATC irreg system. Because of the ATC in place, any travel agent who originally issued the tickets can rebook using the rules and reissue the tickets automatically without any intervention required by Lufthansa.

So you reckon they will be cancelled as well? I am baffled that with nearly the entire longhaul network canx they will run a full SH schedule?
I just don't want to get caught up in FRA tomorrow night and end up on the floor of the airport. I want to be rebooked now to LOT.

From Lufthansa news Twitter:
Special Flight Schedule effective: 2,300 of 3,000 (Nov 7th) and 2,400 of 3,000 (Nov 8th) LH Group flights will operate. Passengers can obtain current information on the status of their flights via https://t.co/6wON0PEK55 by entering their flight number. https://t.co/wy6VlmIGUa https://t.co/wLOJqPAqQr
Not sure if that means that all group flights except LH will operate, or that also most LH flights will operate.

LH has about 100 widebodies and about 20 A321 doing 'longhaul'. Not all flights are cancelled. e.g. LH412 to EWR is operating, as is LH636 to RUH. All A321 flights to AMM, TLV, etc are still on.

My flights on Friday, LH839 and LH1242, are still showing as "on time", and both even have a gate assignment in FRA (not that it means anything, I guess). Crossing fingers that we will be able to fly as scheduled!
