We have managed to change our flights to 2 days earlier and going back 2 days later so 4 extra days woohoo. Not too good though for those who cannot change at the last minute. They are offering changes to anyone who has flights 48 hours either side of the strike dates. Had to hold on the phone though for quite a long time to get through.

I did not mean it to come out that way ,it was I am flying with BA back here on the 3rd and as it is BA that is striking at least the strike might be over when I fly back.I am very sorry if I have offended anyone,that was not my intention.It is also really nice to know that you are alright Tinkerman:P
