I'm on the 5:35 PM flight out of Newark, NJ on Friday, August 31st. It's a code share with Luftansa, but is operated by United. I just called United and they confirmed this flight WILL NOT be impacted by the strike. Phew!!!

Here's one article guys:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...reaking36.html I just called Lufthansa to confirm my flight info. They said that if a strike happens starting tomorrow and my flight is affected then Lufthansa will book me on another carrier with no extra charges or fees. This is provided that there are other carriers that are flying from San Diego to Munich, which there are. I checked Travelocity and Expedia, and it looks like there are many other carriers doing that route on 8/30. So I don't think that we should have too much to worry about. |

So far. The strike starting tomorrow will only affect domestic Germany travel.
But no one know what will happen next. So if you are connecting within Germany. Better take the train. |

It looks like LH 454 will not be cancelled. But its running 6 hours behind schedule.
Still not show departed Frankfurt. LH455 SFO- FRA will be most likely delayed. |
