Strike?
Just saw out CPH-BRU flight tomorrow is cancelled. Phone agent says there is a strike. Anyone else hear anything similar?

Aviapartner staff striking at BRU — this caused several delays and cancellations yesterday (I was also affected even though kudos to SAS for the way they handled my ‘disrupted routing’ and for getting me to Warsaw on time). That said, I thought industrial actions had come to an end but I haven’t caught up with the latest and it could be that things are yet to settle, reason why airlines may be proactively adjusting their schedules.

Thanks for the fast response. I guess that means no EU comp to cover the lost hotel night. At least we could get a flight the next day and won't miss much of our holidays.

Strikes in transport should be forbidden, only work because they take disproportionate amount of people hostage...... |

I have a colleague ”mildly frustrated” over this. His ARN-BRU was cancelled on Friday. He eventually came via AMS and train. Needless to say, train was India-full. He got today a message that his BRU-ARN tomorrow was cancelled, and he had been rebooked to a flight Monday evening (so 30+h later!). He got a new booking from AMS, but now all good trains are full... Stupid thing is that SN sells tickets to BMA for tomorrow, but nobody (SAS not corporate TA) offered him that, and I heard about all these issues too late. He is EBG with Plus ticket. He kinda expected more info and better support both from TA and SAS. Now he /we have had to figure out everything ourselves. Good thing I fly AY. Different grounf handling agent. |

I think SAS will cover your hotel, but no EU261 compensation.

SAS support at outstations, even major ones such as AMS or BRU is horrible and typically it is impossible to get local support and the Diamond line just doesn't care about passengers. The solution is really to not fly SAS, I use the SN flights from BMA all the time and SN has never let me down.

Lovely stuff. Cancelled again at 21:00 by an automated text, talked to the same agent as last night and rebooked....this time on SN. Oddly enough, tomorrow's 11:50 SK flight to BRU is cancelled but the 11:50 SN flight is expected to fly...so at least nothing seems to have changed in our planning other than the airline. I am curious to know how many flights have started up again and why SAS is still cancelling, but will not hold my breath until tomorrow morning.
October has been an unpleasant month for SAS and my relationship. Aside from the decreased earning and apparent changes to my AMEX, they managed to botch out Christmas booking on TG and now two cancellations for our höstlov trip. Just too much drama for me and I sincerely hope to make it through the year without more problems. We have nothing booked on SK next year and it looks to remain that way if things continue in this manner. |
