Once again, the inmates have been taken over the asylum known as the German labor market and as a result operations will be paralyzed at airports throughout Germany tomorrow thanks to yet another strike.
As a result, Lufthansa has been forced to cancel nearly 1,000 of its 1,600 daily flights.
Airport workers at Frankfurt, Munich, Cologne, and Bremen plan to not do their jobs between 5am and 6pm.
The Union is obviously using this as an extortion tactic ahead of negotiations scheduled to take place on April 15 and 16. I suspect they’ll call additional strikes after tomorrow ahead of their talks. The Ver.di union is looking for a 6% raise for most public sector employees and they chose airport operations as their poster child for their latest tantrum.
If you are scheduled on a Lufthansa flight tomorrow, please check Lufthansa’s FLIGHT STATUS webpage for the most up to date info for your flights.

The bracket for the bonus miles is as follows:

Recently, I’ve noticed better award inventory for Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, and Brussels operated flights, so a deal like this might be worth taking advantage of if your looking for a great way to fly to Europe or beyond.
