If it's anything like last time, then the majority of their long haul flights will still be flying...minus the bitter senior cabin crew strikers! I wouldn't be too concerned yet.

It's a domestic after my long haul :( This is the reason I NEVER fly BA! Damn you BMI for being fully booked :p
Ahhh well ... it could be worse there could be a volcanic ash cloud :p
Oh wait ...

I've just cancelled my BA trip back to UK and rebooked Singapore - never flown longhaul with them before.

I have left the return with BA though, in July.

We had no say in the matter, our sponsor is paying and they booked it, just waiting for a reply as to what will happen should the strike go ahead
