In their latest bid to disrupt passengers, the union representing Lufthansa’s pilots has called for a day-long strike that will affect Munich tomorrow. The strike will take place between 10:00a and 8:00p CEST.
The previous strikes during the past 2 weeks had only affected EU and domestic German flights, this time the strike will impact long haul travel as well since the strike covers all LH flights in and out of ‘MUC’ during the stated time frame.
At this time, LH has not yet published their list of impacted flights, but I expect that to happen in the next few hours. As part of this list I also expect that LH will cancel flights with departure times prior to and after the strike’s timeframe due to aircraft and air traffic logistics.
You can use this link to visit LH’s dedicated page that will provide updates on the strike, which will include the list of impacted flights.
Flights operated by Swiss, Brussels and Austrian that serve MUC will not be affected.
Starting to sound like a broken record isn’t it??

In case you missed this week’s announcement, Lufthansa will begin service between Munich and Miami starting on December 2, 2014. Based on the current timetable, plans call for 5 day a week service (except Monday and Friday). What’s even better is that this will be flown by a 3-class Airbus A330 so you’ll get you experience the new First Class cabin as well as the new Business Class cabin. This route is expected to last until the Winter Timetable closes on April 30, 2015.
The details of the flights are as follows (all times local):
LH460 will depart Munich at 11:45a and arrive in Miami at 5:15p (Scheduled for 11 hrs. 30 min).
LH461 will depart Miami at 6:55p and arrive the following morning in Munich at 10:25a (Scheduled for 9 hrs. 30 min).
Booking for this new flight is available now.

Starting this week, Munich Airport’s operating authority has begun the trial use of a full body scanner at the additional security check-point that US bound passengers must pass through prior to boarding their Lufthansa flights to the States. This is referring to the check-point located in terminal 2, on the H-North level.
As part of the trial, passengers will have the ability to ‘opt out’ of the full body scan and be subject to the normal pat down procedure that is currently in place. I’m not aware of the length of trial, however the airport authority will use this test to determine if there is long term viability for the use of full body scanners.
This is the first time that ‘MUC’ has installed a full body scanner as part of their passenger screening procedures.
