Start of the autumn break - and strike at Brussels Airport

The autumn break is traditionally a good time to make a trip. School started early in September, and after 8 weeks both parents and kids feel like having a bit of fun.

Right now, during this busy period for travellers, Avia partners (those who handle the luggage) decided to strike against the bad circumstances in which they work. Mind, I agree with the fact that th the pay is too low for what they have to do, but they could have chosed a better time!

Yesterday, lots of flight of Ryanair and TUI travel were cancelled and thousands of tourists had to make other arrangements or wait for another flight. Those who travel with Brussels Airlines were not affected because Brussels Airlines works with another luggage handler, Swissport.


The strike will probably continue today and tomorrow. Luckily we don't travel by air this time. We are taking the train. Even then, we already got a message that it will be very busy and we have to come early to Brussels Midi.
