Lufthansa site posts special flight schedule

Dubai, February 22, 2010

Lufthansa, the national carrier of Germany, has published a special flight schedule on its website lufthansa.com due to strike measures initiated by its pilots union “Vereinigung Cockpit”.

Lufthansa is making corresponding adjustments to its flight schedule from February 22 to 25.

About two thirds of the affected Lufthansa-operated flights will have to be cancelled; however Lufthansa regional partners such as Lufthansa CityLine will operate their flights according to schedule, said a statement.

It lists all flights which should be operating according to the current planning. Depending upon the actual operating conditions during the days of the strike, further changes could be made to the special flight schedule.

Customers who have purchased a Lufthansa ticket for a flight which is operated by a partner airline (codeshare) will not find the LH flight number known to them in the special flight schedule.

Since the partner airlines of Lufthansa are not affected by the strike, their flights will operate as planned, the statement added.

Passengers already booked on a Lufthansa flight during the period from February 22 to 25 can rebook once free of charge on another Lufthansa flight, if they wish to change their travel plans – provided their ticket was issued before February 18, the statement said.

The new travel date is before May 31and their arrival and departure destinations remain the same.

Should a flight be cancelled, and the purpose of the journey no longer applies, passengers can cancel their booking free of charge.

Passengers on domestic German flights, whose flights have been cancelled, can independently purchase a rail ticket for the identical route in the same travel class and later, together with proof of the flight ticket purchased from Lufthansa, claim a refund, the statement added. – TradeArabia News Service
