LATEST TRAVELLERS INFORMATION
BA strike: dates announced
Transport : 12/03/2010
British Airways today announced the dates of the strike by its cabin crew, after lengthy negotiations between the airline and the unions broke down.
However, an eleventh hour offer from the airline will be put to the cabin crew in a desperate last minute attempt to postpone the strike.
But for now, the cabin crew will strike for a total of seven days; three days beginning the 20th of March and four days beginning the 27th of March.
Even though the peak Easter times have been avoided (as promised by Unite), significant disruption to the BA network is expected over the Easter break.
BA insists it will do everything possible to have the majority of its flights operational.
Unite said that further industrial action will be scheduled after the 14th of April should there be no resolution to the dispute.
Emirates: extra Airbus 380
Transport : 11/03/2010
London Heathrow will see a second Emirates Airbus 380 service the route to Dubai from the 1st of July.
This means that two daily flights will leave from Heathrow's Terminal 3, with departure times of 14:15hrs and 20:40hrs.
This comes after the airline first introduced the double-decker aircraft in December 2008 to operate the London - Dubai route.
State emergency in Thailand
Security : 10/03/2010
The Prime Minister of Thailand Abhisit Vejjajiva has declared a state emergency following the 'red shirt' opposition's plans to stage large demonstrations throughout the country.
Bangkok in particular is preparing itself for unrest with the news that protestors will congregate in several city locations on the 12th of March, with protests expected to continue into and over the weekend.
Vejjajiva's government has since invoked the Internal Security Act from the 11th - 23rd March in the capital and seven surrounding provinces.
The protest is expected to paralyse the capital, with traffic to be severely affected and violence probable.
With the current political situation in Thailand being volatile, British nationals are advised to exercise "great caution" and to avoid mass gatherings which have the potential to turn violent.
