Lufthansa strike PLEASE HELP!
« on: September 07, 2015, 11:00:05 PM »
Lufthansa pilots are striking tomorrow and they have canceled my flight from EWR to DUS as a result. I need advice what are my rights? options? How far can I make them go to rebook me?

Don't know if they all earn the same amount, but if they do, then it would probably be between Singapore, M & M, Aeroplan, or ANA - depending on what's most useful to you. Those are the only star alliance programs that I know of offhand other than United that have competent miles. Personally, I would credit to Singapore as I'm down for a suite at some point :)
