The latest strikes are set to create havoc for families planning to get away for the May Half Term holidays. Many of these families have planned these holidays way in advance of Whit Week and are likely not to have much flexibility with departure dates therefore leaving the choice of limited alternatives to getting away. The planned 20-day strike will also affect those people who have planned trips to The World Cup in South Africa.

Many are hoping that British Airways will communicate effectively with their customers and let them know in advance the air routes affected by this strike. Those customers who have booked flights with British Airways should regularly check the BA website for flight updates and make sure that their Travel Insurance policy covers them for Industrial Action should they need to make a claim.

Those holidaymakers wishing to avoid holidays by air this summer should perhaps rethink their travel plans and opt for UK coach tours, Event coach trips, day trips by coach, European coach holidays or Cruise holidays to get away from it all this summer.

There are many exciting UK, European and Worldwide coach holiday destinations to visit without booking holidays by air this summer.
