In what was orginally designed to impact flights flown by medium and short-haul aircraft, the strike called by Lufthansa’s Pilot Union has now spread to the long haul fleet.
In an updated timetable from LH, most if not all of their long haul flights departing Frankfurt and a few from Munich are cancelled for Tuesday,October 21, 2014. You can find the most updated timetable reflecting the cancellations here.
Most flights scheduled to depart LH’s long-haul gateways (North America, Asia, etc) on October 21 are scheduled to operate their flights to Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf. Most of the aircraft will be spending the night at their gateway cities tonight due to cancellations today making them available to fly back tomorrow.
However there are a few cancellations in that group including Johannesburg-FRA, Hong Kong – FRA, Sao Paulo – FRA, Shanghai – FRA and Seoul – MUC. There may be others so PLEASE check the link provided above or to check a specific flight, please use Lufthansa’s Flight Status Tool.

The union representing Lufthansa’s Pilots has sabotaged the airline once again by announcing a strike that is set to take up the better part of 2 days.
The walk out is set to occur from 1 PM on Monday October 20 and last until Midnight Tuesday, October 21 (Central European Time). The strike covers Lufthansa’s entire network and is not limited to just certain airports, etc.
The strike will affect a large part of the fleet, specifically targeting Airbus A320, Boeing 737 and Embraer regional aircraft. Lufthansa in their information is stating that 747 flights are affected, but that may be a typo. The Union’s own webpage only made mention of 3 types that I listed above and made no reference to the 747.
If your flights are potentially affected by this latest strike, please visit Lufthansa’s flight status page to look up your specific flight and for re- accommodation options.
In past strikes, the Union’s bark has been far worse than its bite thanks to Lufthansa Pilots putting their priorities in order and still flying their routes instead of listening to their own union. Lufthansa will begin listing which flights are canceled later today. You can check your flight’s status here.
