The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union has called on Lufthansa pilots to participate in a four-day strike from February 22 to 25.
Lufthansa has a toll-free number in the U.S. and Canada for customers to obtain information about their flight bookings, and for any re-bookings or cancellations.

The U.S. number is: 1-800-645-3880*
The Canadian number is: 1-800-563-5954*

Passengers who are already booked on a Lufthansa flight during February 22 to 25, 2010, and wish to change their travel plans can rebook once free of charge to another Lufthansa flight - provided their ticket is issued before February 18, 2010 and their new travel date is before March 31, 2010. Their departure and arrival destinations must also remain the same. For additional information on the Lufthansa Goodwill Policy please call toll free number provided.

Applicable rules for flight cancellations caused by strike action:
Should the purpose of a journey become null and void because of a flight cancellation, passengers can annul their flight booking free of charge.
