Holiday warning as popular European destination hit by strikes
British Airways cancelled 124 Heathrow flights, although the airline said affected passengers were given advance notice.
Mark Meadows, 40, a journalist living in Berlin but originally from Manchester, said he had his flight from Manchester to Berlin cancelled on Tuesday after waiting for hours at the airport. He only realised his flight had been cancelled after it disappeared off the screen and after wandering around the airport, he eventually found somebody giving out information.
Mr Meadows said: "Eventually we were marched to a different gate.... with no-one really knowing what was going on, but then we had to wait ages to be allowed into the arrivals to get out of the airport with no one giving us any information at all.There have also been reports of massive queues and severe delays for the last month, due to staff shortages and a huge surge in demand as more people travel post-coronavirus restrictions.
