BA plans strike on the day I WANT TO FLY!!! How dare they???


they could reschedule the flights a couple days earlier - which means more time spent in NZ - so I spose it aint all bad

Aw mate, what a nightmare! Hope you get some sort of compensation. Good luck!

P2L

Have you already booked?

dreamfish

yes i booked back in december, and got travel insurance same day - so should be covered :S

How very dare they! Still they may offer free flights as compensation wich could come in handy!

Hope it all works out OK!

dreamfish

hell yeh i want free accommodation and an upgrade on my flights!!

as if.

but i might work on the accommodation thing seeing as i have already budgeted.

Might be worth giving them a ring now to see what they are offering & speak to your insurance company too.

yep we did yesterday = they asked for us to call them next friday (02/02/07) to confirm strike going ahead. if it is then they will put on extra flights either sunday or monday thus bringing us fwd a couple days. they will also ensure connecting flights are made available too.

i read somewhere that one 3-day strike will cost them in the region of £125m!! You can see why...

just another bloody moan -had our suitcases delivered today (yehehehhhhhh) really impressed.

NOT IMPRESSED with the sticker they slapped on the side, size of a side plate, that wont PEEL off.

i spent past half hour pick pick pick, rub, pick pick, rub, pick, rub, pick

so then i thought, i have some adhesive remover somewhere - that;ll be alright.

now i have A BIG WHITE CIRCLE on the side of my black suitcase

i am so bloody stupid sometimes

the calders

look on the brightside, at least you will know which case is yours at baggage reclaim

You should be there for Waitangi Day then Think I'm right in saying it's a public holiday & the kids go back to school the day after.

Good luck - hope the strike is cancelled so you can travel. Still can't send you karma, so positive thoughts coming your way
