Lufthansa Cityline is no more
@moderator: this deserves its own thread, please don’t move to some other thread (again) where the death of an airline many of us liked a lot is just a side note. Thank you.
LH has pulled the plug on LH Cityline, effective immediately (sorry, German only):

All employees are “freigestellt” meaning fired. (with a potential but unlikely option to bring them back).

As i understand this is with immediate effect. You will be rebooked on one of the service operated by the main line (if there is any) or via ZRH/VIE. When the rebooking happens ? Nobody knows.

Will let you know on Saturday, I´m booked to fly PRG-MUC on Cityline too. My guess is it will only be switched either to LH City or mainline LH.

One of my flights has been changed to Discover (no notification, just saw it when I checked in the app), another one to a LH A321.

MUC-BEG (on CR9) on Saturday also cancelled.
No alternative for LON-BEG on the day (there was an option for few minutes LHR-VIE overnight _ BEG on Sunday)
Now, rebooked (via AI chat, live chat kicked me out) on TK via IST, leaving Friday night instead...

Crap. I'm booked in late May on Cityline PRG-MUC and then onwards to IAD on the Mothership. I have not been notified of any change, and my reservation still shows as confirmed on the Lufthansa website, but it is no longer bookable on Lufthansa's website. Wondering if I should call in now or wait to be officially informed.
