BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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

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

oh shite, karma sent , buggers , i suppose they are striling for more money

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

Have you already booked? :blink:

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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

Hope it all works out OK!

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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.

Re: BA! Whyyyyyyyy! Why the 6th? Whyyyyy?
 

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 :mad:

i am so bloody stupid sometimes

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.

[QUOTE=kev&sarah;4318074]yes waitangi day is a public holiday & is on tuesday 6th feb, my son goes back to school on 7th feb (yay at last:) )

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