Dates of course will likely vary at pucker all notice


The industrial action involving over 2,000 security officers is set to begin on Saturday, June 17, carrying on into the August Bank Holiday.
It follows three days of strike action held in late May as staff are locked in a dispute with Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) over pay.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham “Unite is putting Heathrow on notice that strike action at the airport will continue until it makes a fair pay offer to its workers.
"Make no mistake, our members will receive the union’s unflinching support in this dispute. HAL has got its priorities all wrong.

I'm very glad to be flying in to BRS next month, apart from the exorbitant luggage trolley fee I will doubtless incur.

Edit: the b@stards.

luggage trolley fee

UK airports are notorious for charging their users extra fees for the use of essential services, travellers already pay an airport tax supposedly to fund these services.

from £2 to use a broken down trolley to £5 parking for a 5 minute drop off.

i dont know about bristol airport, but manchester airport is a run down dump. populated with gormless and scruffy staff, many are obese, seemingly unwashed and heavily tattooed, barking instructions to the hapless passengers as they negotiate security and passport control, i transited moscow airport in the days of brezhnev and andropov, and that experience was similar.

the emirates business lounge is a welcome oasis of calmness and civility (and decent grub) compared to the extortionately priced and dross infested cafes and bars at manchester airport that await those unfortunates condemned to a journey in cattle class.
