More delays

Having suffered from a two hour delay on our flight to Palma, we face the possibility of a delay on our next trip.

Talks between the baggage handlers' union and bosses have come to a stalemate so they are planning strikes of between two and four hours mornings and evenings at five of Spain's airports including Alicante-Elche.

The strikes at Alicante-Elche will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout September and will start at 10am for four hours and then a further four hours from 4pm.

Spanish law means that minimal services have to be maintained during the strikes but that will still cause delays in getting luggage from the carousel and may delay flights.
