Lufthansa on strike
Lufthansa has cancelled most European and domestic German flights due to strike action.
The carrier is expecting "massive flight cancellations and delays" on long-haul flights.
Of the 50 planned flights in Frankfurt, for example, only six will operate; in Munich, of the 17 planned flights, only three will operate.
Lufthansa recommends all passengers check the status of their flight in advance by visiting www.lufthansa.com under the link "strike actions on 22 April 2013" or under the tab "My Bookings."
There’s also a toll-free informational hotline:
Passengers booked on flights scheduled to depart on April 21 and/or 22, 2013 to/from/via Germany may rebook their itineraries free of charge, get a refund, or switch reservations to the German railway, Deutsche Bahn, on the www.lufthansa.com website.
Lufthansa "strongly encourages" passengers who are flying on Monday to check-in online and limit themselves to carry-on baggage.
