As I mentioned last week, Lufthansa was hit by a large industrial action this week, and although the airline was assuring people that flights would go ahead as planned thanks to a detailed plan of action, they didn’t really know what form the strike would take, and there was every chance there would be a great number of cancellations. In the end, the majority of flights went ahead as planned, with the main cancellations being national flights. The dispute has since been resolved, but there are still going to be flights affected over the next two weeks due to a backlog of maintenance checks, according to the airline. I had a reservation for a Dusseldorf-Wroclaw flight for this week, so I was able to see for myself how the strike was handled.
