Does anybody know if the Iberia might go an a strike again in December ? I have an award ticket booked with Iberia. Also, does anybody have any experience with such situations ? What does usually happen for the stranded passengers ? I remember hearing horror stories from my friends who were stuck in CDG for more than a day because of an Air France strike. And this is the main reason I have never taken an Air France flight. alanw Oct 23, 09, 2:26 pm Nobody knows if someone is going to strike unless it's announced, though it's not as if it happens every day. Affected passengers will not be stranded, since the strike was announced ahead of time and IB has already offered to change their flights to another day for free. Guy Betsy Oct 25, 09, 3:08 am ...

Welcome to Europe.... Why is it that this sort of thing only seems to happen in european latin countries, and the odd scandic countries? ie France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, & Denmark seems more occasional than say, UK, Germany or Netherlands? fireworksboy Oct 27, 09, 9:15 am Flying IB tomorrow night JFK-MAD-BCN. I know that the JFK-MAD flight will be fine (he knocks on wood) but I'm wondering how IB is doing on reaccomodating the displaced passengers from yesterday and today's flights. Anyone know how it's going? alanw Oct 27, 09, 9:21 am http://grupo.iberia.es/portal/site/grupoiberia/menuitem.5d6eca7f0ce74dddf54c0f10d21061ca?id_notic ia=d9a01f44ccb74210VgnVCM200000940216ac____ In other words, no. :) |
