So, like, two flights from Edinburgh got canceled on Friday because of some strike action. Finnair, which is from Finland, had to axe a flight to and from Edinburgh because the Finnish Aviation Union decided to throw a tantrum. The strike was supposed to last four hours, but they didn’t really give a specific time for when it would happen. The flight to Helsinki from Edinburgh that was supposed to leave at 8.25am and the one coming back from Helsinki that was supposed to arrive at 7.40am both got the boot. Finnair had to cancel a total of 140 flights, including some to London Heathrow and Manchester on May 2. They said around 12,000 customers are gonna be affected by this mess. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, you might have to wait a while for a new flight or you can just cancel and get your money back. Sounds like a headache, right? Oh, and on top of all that, there’s gonna be delays and chaos with baggage and food services. Some flights might even take off without any snacks or suitcases onboard. Finnair is still trying to figure out how bad the situation is gonna get, but they’re pretty sure it’s gonna be a hot mess. Helsinki Airport is warning people to expect delays and lines on May 2 and May 5. Finnair said they’ll hit you up with an email or text if your flight gets canceled. They’ll try to find you a new route, but since there are so many cancellations, it might take a minute. So, good luck to all the passengers caught up in this mess!
