[C 2 C]

I hope no cruisers will be affected by this work stoppage as they make their way to their ships this weekend.

We were almost caught up in one last year. Our flight was scheduled to arrive Rome at 1pm, and Lufthansa was going on strike beginning at 2pm. Luckily we arrived in time, but a couple we know going on the same cruise was stuck in Paris because of the short strike.

 

I'm not sure what the strike accomplished other than pissing off several customers.

 

P.S. If you're going to Italy, they announce their strikes ahead of time. Google it to make sure you don't get stuck in the middle of one.

I am also booked in October! I don't want to be stuck somewhere, wondering how I'm going to get home. :mad:

 

OP, thanks for posting this.

How far ahead do they plan these things?

And how do you go about getting different flights? With something like this I am sure the phones are busy

So does that mean you have to pay more $$$ for the other flights?

Thanks for your help!! Just in case

There was no Lufthansa strike last year. Must have been the airport security staff. Makes no difference for travellers. However, Airlines sometimes suffer under circumstances they can not control.

I think other cruise lines besides Celebrity may be affected by this.

Sorry, but wrong. No pilot strike last year. It was the security staff.

And currently, it's not about more money it's about their pensions

Yeah, tell that to my friends who couldn't get out of Paris for their connection on Lufthansa because of the strike. :rolleyes:
