Lufthansa Germanwings Pilot Strike
21 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 arrivals. Perhaps book a hotel at both ends of your trip and cancel on the day. We will be updating as the news comes. Lufthansa management will not back down.
Expect Ryanair, Air France, EasyJet 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.
Pilots will not strike over Easter. Stay in touch with our front page and Lufthansa strike page. Do email us if you know something we don't. contact@easytravelreport.com.
