Anyone else see in the newspapers today(Sat 1st) about threatened strikes at UK airports starting on 27 th Dec. by baggage controllers, firemen, security etc...
Just in time to disrupt new year flights . I do hope not, on top of all the flight schedules and airport changes already inflicted by Inghams!
Wouldn%26#39;t worry so much if we were not running to such a tight schedule now when returning home!

Hi there I woke up the other day to a radio report about it but was half asleep. so posted asking if anyone knew anything. If you look back on the last couple of days posts Poe has put the details on the thread. Were coming back on the 1st, or maybe not!

I%26#39;m worried about it as we are flying out of gatwick on the 30th for a week, so there may be a spare cabin in yllas if you get stuck there. I really hope not....

Thanks laplandbound for the offer but we too fly out of Gatwick on 30th at 8 am. Maybe on the same flight? We are going on to Saariselka.

Hi earthtraveller,
I share the misery of the unknown strike situation. We are flying out of Gatwick at 12.40 on the 30th Dec to Kittila on Monarch booked with skiflights.com. (It says Inghams on the flight confirmation.) So we are not on same flight but may get same problems.
Is anyone else on the same flight? How long might the strike last for? Any advice/

Hi Laplandbound.
Tickets came this morning (hehe!) and we are on the same flight as yourselves!
We still have a couple of weeks yet and I won%26#39;t start to panic until the week before - like the snow situation - there is nothing that we can do but keep our fingers crossed.
If we have a delay - we have a week to get over it!
However I know I will be the one actually stressing and giving out in the dep lounge on the day if it happens!
Plenty of colouring books and snacks - might even be pursuaded to invest in PSPs for kids as desparate least resort!
Cross fingers!

Smiley sid Our tickets came too! See you there.
Sticker books very useful too for long waits. How are you transferring from airport - it being a sunday night?
As log as its only delays and not cancellations.
What age the kids?

Laplandbound, Smileysid
We%26#39;re on the same flight as you guys - must arrange to wear daffodils or something for recognition!!!

Confused about your question about tranferring from airport! At which end of the trip did you mean? Am I missing something here(panic!).
Hoping that transfers in Lapland will be sorted by Inghams!? - we will just follow the crowd!
Or if you mean about coming back to UK - we will be driving home. WE park at LGW - we are only 45mins away.
Haven;t really thought about it too much - but now starting to panic abit - wish I had bought the bargain priced handwarmers from Tchibo when they were around (gone now!) and also should have bought one of thes neckwarmer things - got one from last year 1 but another would be handy.
Need to get kids thermals so will probably be trawling through all old posts for the threads on that!
I think that it will have to be poinsettia or something - not many daffs around at the mo!
Can%26#39;t wait now!
