Well, it helps to fill those empty seats ...
EasyJet from the UK are offering GBP20 seats LTN-ZRH and -GVA to stranded SR passengers.
BA, having announced the end of LGW-ZRH services, have now increased capacity on LHR-ZRH because of the SR situation.
Now what about my SR reservations in December? Confirmed, says the TA. Not valid, says SR - only flights to the end of October seem to be OK because of the Swiss government subsidy. Inter-lining is out.
Worst case is I'll make other arrangements and get a refund from the credit card company under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act.

You know, even given the likelihood that the airlines will not get paid by SR, they're flying with an awful lot of empty seats now - wouldn't you think that for the sake of good will they would honour the SR tickets for free, or at least just the cost of the meal?
I mean, after all - if they have empty seats, and the formerly loyal SR psgrs are gonna have to find a new airline anyway - it seems to make good business sense.
