good i miss those days.mine you i went out last oct on planned strike.airport was just like normal.thomas cook frighted people into buying water snacks etc on plane.and saying shops were shut.i knew nothing was happening by looking on net before i flew.only thing was staff were in own clothes and we had paper plates for dinner and limited food on offer.in hotel.

What's the likelihood of these going ahead? Meant to fly out on 14th may coming back on 19th.......

grrrrr. i go 23rd june...what will happen? do flights get cancelled?

actually they announced to strike around eastern 2011, it's the best time for them to strike because many people travel to Ibiza in this time. I heard nothing for other planned strikes during the summer season.

Found this story when googling about the airport strikes.they reckon bars and cabs are joining in on the strikes.does anyone who lives in Ibiza know if this is true.sorry if link doesn't work I am on iPad and don't know how to do it

 

[McRackin]

nonsense...

- the taxi drivers strike is in the canary islands
- and the bars strike for not letting them sell ciggies? seriously..... i'm sure if two or three bars close for such a silly reason it won't affect your holidays at all

Cheers I am more worried about the airport strikes.I don't want to lose any precious days in Ibiza.noticed today that ryanair have changed my flight times.I fly out an hour or so later and back 6 hours early wonder if it has anything to do with the strikes

Yep, saw this too earlier to my relief.

Didn't want to have to go to the rigmarole of having to change flights and dates to avoid the strikes. Likely my travel agent would charge me an arm & a leg for the privilige!

Granted, it isn't done with yet, but I can sleep easier knowing that a reprieve is on the horizon

At the moment I am due to fly the day after one of the strike days,but of course the knock on delays will make a difference to timetables.

Hope for everyones sake (including the airport workers) that the situation will be resolved soon.

Man, I got caught up in that back in July 2006. Luckily it was on my way back from Ibiza. But being stuck in Barcelona for 3 days really wasn't all that bad...
