Thought I would alert people to the airport strikes in Germany. Had to cancel my airline flight with Lufthansa yesterday - was due to fly today to Lisbon, via Frankfurt. Do not expect much in way of communication with Lufthansa (website or phone), I just hope I get full refund.

Sad for those trying to travel over these few days. Trust it all works out for them.

I was a little annoyed yesterday, and it took me hours to sort everything. Today I am thinking maybe it is "Camino Magic" as I have airline ticket $200 dollars cheaper, direct 7 hour flights from Philadelphia for both arrival and departure, and I added on 5 days to itinerary.
