If you’re flying from London, this could impact your plans.
British Airways cabin crew have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strikes in a dispute over pay.
In a move that could result in flights from Heathrow being disrupted over the Christmas holidays, cabin crew in BA’s mixed fleet unit – who represent almost 15% of the airline’s stewards – voted to strike after rejecting a 2% pay offer.
Union representatives will meet over the next few days to decide what action to take, with a strike looking very likely from 21 December onwards, according to the the BBC.
Given that Heathrow is such a major international airport, it’s likely that any potential industrial action will impact anyone that’s traveling from there to Ireland.
For example, today saw 11 flights leave Heathrow for Dublin alone.
