Baggage handlers and the bus drivers who drive you to the aircraft. Frankfurt airport strike
Lufthansa Germanwings Pilot Strike
Update:-28 March 2014 German pilots hand in strike dates. April 2 - 4. Follow along with us at Lufthansa strike page
Lufthansa strike page
Update:-23 March 2014 As expected Lufthansa pilots vote for strike action after two years of negotiations. Lufthansa pilots promise to give 48 hours notice of strike action. Shocking yes, but they don't have to. Make sure you have a plan B. In the past it's been hard to find a hotel room or car rental and not just in Germany. Make sure you have a German visa so you can leave international arrivals for a hotel, rather than sleep on a cot in no man's land. Perhaps book a hotel at both ends of your trip and cancel on the day. We will be updating as the news comes.
Expect Swiss Air, Air France, EasyJet, Tuifly, Air Berlin and British Airways to put on extra planes to catch windfall of new passengers. German railways Deutsche Bahn will also put on extra rail cars if given enough warning. Austrian Airlines - Tyrolean Airways and Air Dolomite likely to be hit. Condor not sure. We will be updating, check back with us. I'd change your flight NOW. Munich airport is a nightmare when Lufthansa strikes.
