Following
the news of BA strike action, which will last 12 days, from 22nd
December 2009 to 2nd January 2010, Skyscanner is helping worried
passengers find alternative cheap flights.
The
strike will be hitting Christmas and New Year travellers hard,
coming at one of the busiest times of year for travel and disrupting
plans for an estimated one million passengers, especially those
taking flights
to New York for the festive season.
At
the time of writing, BA had not yet released details of the flights
that would be affected by the strike, but some passengers are
already booking alternatives, not wanting to risk the chance of
being unable to reach their families at Christmas.
“We’ve
already seen an 11% rise in user traffic to Skyscanner since BA’s
announcement of strike action. Right now, it looks like everyone
is waiting for more information; no one wants to buy another flight
unless they’re sure they have to.
“But there will be big search spikes once BA release details
of which flights will be affected so it’s worth checking
out the alternatives now in case your flight is affected”
said Sam Baldwin, Skyscanner travel expert.
