Passengers do not need to change a Lufthansa booking because of industrial action. Check the airline’s flight-information page for the status of the specific service.
Is Lufthansa on strike right now?
No current strike notice is published. Routine cancellations or delays may still occur for unrelated reasons.
Your rights if a flight is cancelled or heavily delayed
Under EU261 or UK261, the airline must offer a refund or re-routing when it cancels a covered flight. Meals, refreshments and, when necessary, hotel accommodation may also be due while you wait. Fixed cash compensation depends on the cause: disruption caused by airport, ground-handler or air-traffic-control strikes is generally treated as outside the airline’s control, while action by an airline’s own staff may be treated differently.
Keep receipts and ask the airline to confirm the reason for the disruption in writing.
What travellers should do
- Check the airline or operator’s live status before leaving.
- Allow extra time for check-in, baggage and connections where industrial action is active.
- Keep essential medication, chargers and a change of clothes in hand luggage.
- Do not change a booking unless the operator confirms a cancellation or material schedule change.
