In what has been called (via USA Today, quoting Germanys Spiegel Online) the biggest strike in German aviation history, more than 4,000 Lufthansa Airline pilots went on strike today, forcing the cancellation of 800 flights. CNN reports that more than 10,000 passengers around the globe including in Chicago have been affected.
Lufthansa is Europes largest airline by revenue and while many of their flights are within the continent, about one-third of their flights are to international destinations, including the U.S., South America, Africa, and Asia. The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Arranging and consuming our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing expending and prices, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. The cancellations affect not only Lufthansa flights, but partner airlines such as United, U.S. Airways, and Continental.
The four-day walkout by the pilots union came after negotiations over job security and pay failed. Lufthansa wants the strike declared illegal and is taking the matter to court to force the pilots to return as soon as possible.
