Seems like there could be strikes here in Germany in the next weeks:

So for some people it could be a lottery going to Las Vegas or back…
Well that’s not too clever! Good luck!

Hello Christian,
I am sure you will make it to Las Vegas, even with those strikes.
A colleague of mine goes to the US by the airport of Schiphol in the Netherlands. I am sure it is not too far away from Germany for a good alternative.
Maybe you can investigate that option as an alternative?
Hope you all will enjoy yourselves on the Xojo Developers Conference in Las Vegas.
I decided to not fly Lufthansa this time and so far I’m happy with this decision 
I heard a rumor that there is a new retro-airline starting up in Northern Germany. Their flagship plane will be an ME262 :)…
By being required to actually pilot the aircraft, you can be assured that there will be no hijacking attempts and that your luggage will arrive at your final destination.
(that’s a joke, folks).
Don’t have to worry about pilot strikes 
Oh, and that too…
