Holidaymakers are now facing near certain travel chaos this Christmas as BA cabin crew have voted to walk out on Tuesday, December 22 for 12 days, unless agreement can be reached between the airline and union negotiators. The industrial action by around 13,500 cabin crew will heap misery on passengers, at one of the busiest times of the year. If all flights are grounded during the 12 days of the strike, one million passengers will be hit and the union has vowed to cause as much disruption as possible.
However Alex Cappa Youth Jersey , it is unlikely that all flights will be completely grounded. Some short-haul flights could fly as normal but cancellations and delays are expected. The number of flights which have to be cancelled will depend on how the strike is organised and how many cabin crew take part. Previous experience suggests that British Airways will try to operate as many long-haul flights as possible and sacrifice shorter flights, which tend to be more frequent and easier to merge.
The big question is, are you entitled to a refund if BA cancels your flight? The short answer is Yes, as EU regulations require that the airline offers you either a full refund of the unused parts of your tickets (to be paid within seven days) or the earliest available flight, or flights, to your final destination.
