Travel Delays At Uk Airports, 8 -10 March

[theoldgit]

People intending to fly into the UK on 8th, 9th and 10th March should be aware that due to strike action by port staff from 07.00 on the 8th until 07.00 on the 10th, the UKBA are advising of delays clearing Border Control. They are putting contingency plans into place, though there will be delays. I suspect that people travelling on visas will be waved through and not subject to undue questioning, but I could be wrong. The action revolves round expenses paid to UKBA staff at the Juxtaposed Controls, so I suspect their will be little public sympathy.

Wasn't sure whether to post here or on the travel thread, but I thought people travelling to the UK are more likely to read it here, maybe I should have posted it in both.

Thanks for that clip. We will be entering through Aberdeen so hopefully the single passport checker will still be about!
