View Full Version : BCN security strike tomorrow (26th august)
Coming out of BCN at 10:50 tomorrow. Advised by Ryanair to give it three hours. Anybody know what it's really like? Is it a full strike or the hour-long variety? I am currently getting the first train into BCN that I can; this will get me to El prat about 9:20.

All I can find is variants of the article linked below. Doesn't mention anything about tomorrow but there's war on the horizon by the look of things.

If Ryanair say three hours and you're arriving with 90 minutes to take off then you're likely going to be in some trouble if you're flying to non Schengen destination.
Done it before in normal circumstances. Going to Stansted.

Yes. But they have made it clear these are not normal circumstances!
Indeed. In the end (having got up at silly o'clock to get the bus) I found a short queue at check-in. The family ahead of me got sent away for being too early. I asked about the strike and was told it was 'suspended'. So all normal and I was through security maybe 30 minutes after arriving at the terminal. Why are Ryanair sending these emails?
CYA.
The rain in spain etc.
