[QUOTE="tmount, post: 307193, member: 152"] I haven’t flown Lufthansa as much as [I]some[/I] people, but, I have flown it a bit. Lufthansa holds a special place in my heart, as it was my first award flight in first class (it was a trip to Japan, flying LH A380, it rocked). But alas, with such highs, come lows. I mentioned back in November about how I was essentially [URL='http://saverocity.com/taggingmiles/initial-thoughts-round-world-thanksgiving-trip/']downgraded to United First[/URL] (the horror!) because of a [URL='http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30312942']pilot strike[/URL]. But that wasn’t my first experience with Lufthansa strikes, in fact, it was returning home from my first trip to Bali. And, ironically enough, it was a [URL='http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/lufthansa-cabin-crew-strike-to-begin-31-august-375933/']Lufthansa Cabin Crew[/URL] strike.
