In response to the pilot’s strike called for tomorrow in Munich, Lufthansa will operate AT LEAST 1 Round Trip between Frankfurt and Munich with a 747-400. It’s too bad that such a rare event has to take place under this kind of circumstance, but if you are in Munich tomorrow between 10:00 and 11:00a, be on the look out for tail #D-ABVY.
D-ABVY will make a cameo appearance in Munich on Wednesday.
There may be another 747 service between FRA and MUC but nothing official has been published by Lufthansa as of yet. This is a saavy way that LH can bypass some of the flights affecting passengers in Munich by rerouting their travel through Frankfurt, thus minimizing inconveniences.
Additionally, it looks like long haul flights are safe for tomorrow since pilots have volunteered to keep the long haul routes going, but there may be some delays to them as far as the afternoon departures are concerned. Lufthansa has also published a list of flights that are cancelled for tomorrow. You can find that info here.

It’s that time of year again! The time when airlines start offering fantastic Business Class fares to Europe for travel during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
SWISS has launched their Business Class fare sale to Europe with fares starting as low as $1899 for travel to Barcelona from New York.
Most of the fares for this sale are ranging in the low to mid $2000 level from the East Coast while fares from the West Coast range in the very low $3000 range. Great fares!
I sampled a few fares, and found that this deal is available for travel between November 22 and December 1 with very good availability from their USA gateways. The Business Fares are being booked as ‘P’ fares.
Please pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to who will be operating your flight. Most of the fares that I sampled had SWISS as the carrier for the transatlantic segments. However, there were pockets where United and Air Canada were options. My suggestion is to make sure you fly on SWISS to fully enjoy the experience.
SWISS is consistently recognized as having one of the best Business Class experiences in the industry. If you’re going to spend $2000-$3000 to travel, you may as well fly with one of the best!
