alolewis Posted July 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Silversea booked us on SAS San Francisco to Copenhagen. SAS is on strike. Our flight is August 6. has anyone been booked on SAS for a cruise since the strike started and how did Silversea handle changing flights? The flight from SFO to CPH has been cancelled every day since July 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A Tucson Guy Posted July 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I will respond here as we are currently scheduled on SAS- We are scheduled to return home on 7-15 from Copenhagen to USA. Our flight is probably not going to happen. I emailed Silver Sky and waiting for a response. We shall see what they come up with. We have Business class going home and we really don't want to sit in the back of the bus for a 8 hour flight. I hope SS can do their magic!!

hallasm Posted July 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2022 As experiences with the strike have a broad interest, I would encourage you to update the above topic regarding the ‘SAS strike June 2022 ‘with your experiences with the SAS strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreecruise Posted July 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Big problem with two ships in Tromso with nobody getting any flights. Ship is staying in port additional night to hire a charter aircraft to fly guest from Tromso to Oslo and back. That is only happening with Silversky guests. The rest are on their own and not happy.

lionheart Posted July 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Will govt. step in and say go back to work while working on labor agreement? Not sure what labor provisions the govt had authority over but the whole area is impacted and would image tourism is getting hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A Tucson Guy Posted July 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It is now Tuesday and we get off the ship this Friday with what was a SAS flight to JFK from Copenhagen. I emailed the SkyDesk and no response yet. Almost time to start worrying about getting home since SAS is still on strike. Is any body else scheduled on SAS soon?

WOW! Just this morning, my husband and I were discussing whether to let the cruise line book our airfare, or do our own thing. Something like this makes me lean toward letting the cruise company take of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that they are chartering an aircraft and will only allow Silversky guests on even if there is space on it? That seems crazy.

cruisr Posted July 13, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Not if you bought your own air. Then again, if you purchased air thru the cruise line they can reroute you anyway they can get and it can involve hotels, etc. I presume they would pay for that but who knows.

Rare ggo85 Posted July 17, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Note that it’s just SAS that’s on strike, not their affiliates. We flew their regional affiliate, City Jet, yesterday to Amsterdam with no issues. So be sure to check your exact airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
