Airport strikes 30 Nov

I'm due to fly to Turin on Wednesday from Stanstead at 0655 in the morning, do you think this will be affected by the strikes??

    Unlikely - the most effected people will be those arriving on international flights having to queue at passport control. It is likely your plane will have been sat there all night rather than arriving with passengers (the delays could be caused if arriving passengers are held on their aircraft as there is nowhere for them to wait which will, in turn, affect people boarding to leave)
  • Thanks Caz - that's what I thought. Fingers crossed!!
  • Just spoke to Ryanair and they said they aren't affected, fingers crossed it stays that way!

    The strike will have zero effect on the first flights of the day as there are no controls outbound so there will be no impact on flights leaving the UK.
    Live each day like its your last because one day you'll be right
