Lonedaddy Posted May 17 #1 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Anyone going soon might look at alternative flights. Splendor leaves the 30th so should be ok but if you are arriving early for the 9th this may impact you.

GoNavyFamily Posted May 18 #2 Share Posted May 18 (edited) We head home on June 2 via Heathrow after a cruise and post land tour. Do you think this will affect passengers in transit? We will be coming from Athens. Edited May 18 by GoNavyFamily Wrong word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce61 Posted May 18 #7 Share Posted May 18 From what I read, each of the prior threatened strike days (starting from April 30) were cancelled or postponed due to continuing union talks. I would not sweat this. On the other hand, we fly through LHR in July and August, so maybe I should worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjs217 Posted May 21 #11 Share Posted May 21 When booking flights that connect to any major hub in Europe or problematic airports in the US we try to allow 3 hours. Then, if everything is running on time we can relax and enjoy ourselves (imbibe) in the lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
