Freaking out!!

[NiamhOC]

Hi Everyone..
So..all ready to head off to DLP on the 13th (nearly time for my single digit dance) and of course the French have decided to have a strike on the 12th...

I'm so worried that I'm going to get to Dublin airport and find out that my 7am flight has been cancelled!!

What am I going to tell my 6 yr old son if it is??

And it's my birthday today..you shouldn't get bad news on your birthday..it's not right!!

Can't find much information on this. Have you got a link? Who is on strike?

 

[NiamhOC]

It's a planned national strike on the 12th October

Another strike in regards to the change of pensionable age in France.

I'm really hoping that it doesn't happen...although i'm not expecting my luck to change! :-(

If you're going on the 13th then you should be ok.

 

[NiamhOC]

I really hope so!

The strike last week meant that the flights from Dublin to Paris the following day were also effected.

I'm just going to pray to the gods of Disney that my flight is ok

Keep your fingers crossed!

I really hope so!

I hope so too, I hate seeing people affected by this sort of thing. At most, your flight might be a bit delayed.

Happy birthday, by the way!

I know it's not great news but just to put things in perspective:

1. Even if you were going on the 12th, it wouldn't necessarily mean that your flight would be cancelled.

2. You're going on the 13th. As I said before, at the very most you might be slightly delayed.

Try not to panic too much.

 

[bonhoga]

Repeat after me " Don't panic!, Don't Panic Don't panic!!!!!"

yes thanks Disney Princess you are probably right....it'll be fine

It will won't it?
