Possible Lufthansa strike: Travelers on alert during the autumn holidays!
The current situation at Lufthansa is causing excitement and uncertainty among travelers. On October 30, 2025, the situation is more serious than ever: collective bargaining between the airline and the pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit has reached a dead end. Loud ADAC The talks failed on October 24th, and a strike vote at the end of September resulted in a clear majority in favor of a strike.
Many people are looking forward to the possibility of a strike with excitement, as the exact timing and announcement are still up in the air. The Cockpit Association is currently discussing how to proceed and could announce a strike at short notice, especially during the upcoming autumn holidays, which last until the beginning of November in several federal states.
Willingness to assist with flight problems
Passengers should prepare for delays or even cancellations and check their bookings regularly. The ADAC points out that travelers are entitled to support services, meals and, if necessary, accommodation if flights are canceled due to a strike. However, it is important to note that the airline can rely on exceptional circumstances, which must be checked in each individual case.
In addition to the pilots' demanded flexibility in compensation, the cabin union UFO has also reported failed negotiations with Lufthansa, which makes the situation even more complicated. However, no UFO strikes have been announced yet.
Traveler experiences
Memories of previous flights are not always positive either. Some passengers report long waits for refunds after cancellations and recall experiences with little legroom on the planes. Despite these difficulties, Lufthansa remains for many an important airline for connections to Europe, especially when it comes to flights via its main hubs in Munich and Frankfurt.
Given the current situation, all travelers should be well informed and prepared. A good hand in planning and storing contact details in bookings are particularly important now! It remains to be seen whether Lufthansa can continue to gain trust.
