The bosses thought they could save money by sacking staff. Now they are crying !!! stupid airline bosses get what they deserve...

Summer use to mean not going to school, playing outside, riding our bikes.
It did not mean packing up and traveling to other places.
My dad had to work to pay the utility bills, by food and pay the rent.
We were allowed to be kids.

Workers should work for their benefits!
Well done!

Same thing in the USA… All the flights are being canceled, had to rent a car to drive 20 hours home because the next flight was five days later. The very unfortunate thing is… We love our neighbors to the south. We love the holiday in Mexico. We don’t wanna have to drive home from Mexico, so he put that vacation on hold until the airlines get squared away.

So the spoiled children of Europe are experiencing frustration in their holiday flights. Blame the pandemic. Blame Russia. Blame the US. Blame strikes. Well. Welcome to the brave new world.

Well, Europeans can just travel around Europe with other transportation means....Bus, Cars, Train, Ship. Problem solved

It's time to not go anywhere...stay safe in your homes.

Good lord. At what point does the stress of this make the trip not worth it. Just stay where you are and be happy with the life you have.

So what - 100 years ago, nobody flew.

Seen similar chaos in Toronto Pearson day before yesterday!! A big group of high school students were sleeping on the floor near the baggage carousels! Thankfully we were visiting for the day, so weren’t carrying any luggage!

The irony of it all: Feverishly travelling for a temporary but chaotic respite, only to return to the salt mines.

Indian passport holders are given priority checkin. I just visited Amsterdam and Germany, only reported 1 hour before departure. Ask for Indian Embassy escort once inside the airports.

No bonuses for airline executives this year. Dropped the ball. Its like people have forgotten how to work, get things done, figure it out.

"passengers are forced to travel without their belongings! ...Talk about .travel light"
😅😬😅

[RishSiC]

Not much fuel left eh? Can’t fly planes on water.. can they now?

[Petescag]

Probably not as chaotic as a train ride in India.

[ramneetsinghsingh]

There is going to be World War 3 in Europe and they are having summer holiday 😂😂😂😂

[backpropagation]

Europe’s slogan should be “can’t get anything right”. I guess we have to avoid European vacations for 4-5 years, that is if they have managed the gas situation. Just vacation in India - there are far better locales, variety and food is great. If India could bring down the pollution in the north and get the infrastructure including security infra fully setup, it can totally attract higher class tourists, giving a big boost to the GDP.

Isn't it a coincidence when there is anything happening in one part of the world, the trend streamlines everywhere else. The new normal😕🙃
