Mrs equalsql and my daughter were due to come back from Italy tomorrow. The flights were with Lufthansa who have decided to go on strike tomorrow! It was a two stage journey Bari to Munich then Munich to Birmingham. I can't get any sense with the booking information as Lufthansa's web site has ground to a halt.
We travel very little by air and have never encountered this problem before.
Can anyone offer advice on this that I can pass onto my Wife as she is a bit stressed out.

Get her to write ‘I hereby guarantee to respect the independence of Czechoslovakia, best wishes, A. Hitler’ on a piece of paper and wave it at the check-in desk while marching up and down doing a Nazi salute with her finger under her nose.
That’s the sort of thing Brits usually do when confronted with Germans being difficult, anyway...
Or more sensibly, what MattBanshee said.

For the record, it's ground staff that are striking, not Lufthansa, so other airlines are likely to be affected as well.
Best advice is to have a look at the airline’s website and see what info they’re giving. Also keep any receipts for accommodation and food spends, you can claim compensation for both if it’s the airline’s fault you can’t travel.
Don't know if that has any bearing on the your situation, but I feel better having had a rant!
