We are planning to fly to Milan on 5-20, train to Zurich on 5-26. We received word from United that a transit strike on 5-19 may delay our flight. Anyone have intel: are these one day strikes?
That is correct. It looks like they are 24 hour strikes https://www.commissionegaranziasciopero.it/calendario-scioperi?page=4
There might be some lingering ripple effects from the day before but the strike will be over on the 20th
I got the same notice from United. I leave the US on the 19th and arrive in Italy the next morning. I’m glad to hear the strike should be over by then.
We are scheduled to fly from Catania to Bari on Ryanair on the 19th. Should I try to arrange another way of getting there?
