The airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Cologne-Bonn, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Stuttgart are all impacted, according to Euronews. Furthermore, according to EU Helpers, 80–90% of flights to and from these airports are anticipated to be canceled.

Beginning on Monday, the walkouts will take place at the airports in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Cologne-Bonn, and Stuttgart until the strike ends on Wednesday.

Passengers impacted by flight cancellations will be able to rebook their tickets at no additional cost, the firm has announced. Furthermore, individuals who took domestic flights can exchange their ticket for a rail pass and proceed with their itinerary.

On Wednesday, services can be resumed, although there may be more flight disruptions. If your flight isn't operating, Lufthansa has recommended that you stay away from the airport. If you want more information, you can check your email or use the Lufthansa app. This month has seen two instances of large-scale Lufthansa flight cancellations.

The Ver.di union called for pay increases of 12.5%, or at least €500 more per month, which sparked the walkouts. About 25,000 workers, including those at check-in, aircraft handling, maintenance, and freight, are involved in the wage increase negotiations.

Even though there was no agreement at the last round of talks on February 12, there will be fresh meetings on Wednesday.

Customers have also been alerted by Lufthansa customer service to the existence of a WhatsApp number that is being shared in the airline's name. The airline made it clear that it does not use a WhatsApp account to interact with clients.

Additionally, Lufthansa stated that as rebooking desks are now unstaffed, it may take some time to rebook flights.

Whenever you travel, it is usually a good idea to have travel cancellation insurance. Travelers can safeguard themselves against unforeseen costs like missing or delayed flights in this way.
