The big travel news today is that American Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.

This should not affect travellers to Britain for the foreseeable future as the airline will continue to operate as normal.

It’s a ‘strategic regorganization’ to restructure the airline to make it more competitive.

Bloomberg News has all the details.

If the American Airlines Bankruptcy ends up affecting travelers to Britain from the USA – we’ll keep you posted!

Travel Alert: American Airlines Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is a post from: Anglotopia.net

If you’re coming to Britain on Wednesday – you may want to try and reschedule your flight.

Britain’s public sector unions are going on strike about their pensions and the UK Border Agency is one of those affected organizations. This means that front line staff who manage customs at Britain’s airports and seaports won’t be on duty or will have skelton staffs.

This means huge delays for travelers.

Some papers are reporting that tourists could spend up to 12 hours in line waiting to get into Britain. Not only will this delay people attempting to enter Britain but will severely affect people trying to make connecting flights.

If you’re traveling on All Inclusive Holidays – you shouldn’t have to worry too much about delays.

Our friends at British Airways have released a statement saying that if you’re going to London on the 30th you can reschedule your flight at no extra cost, subject to availability.
