Does anybody know how long the strike is for. My fella has a flight from Naples on Monday evening to London.
Thanks, and hope it didnt mess up anybody elses journey plans.

Don't worry, the strike reported in the link was last year - in November.

Hey...How stupid do I feel now!!! But thanks for putting my mind at rest.:laughs:

I assumed CNN would be bang up to date so sorry.

This is the link to the page on the Minstero dei Trasporti website where they list all the proposed transport strikes - bear in mind, many do not actully go ahead.

For six years I regularly commuted between southern England and Italy (various airports). Despite there being a strike on some occasions, I always got to where I wanted to be, eventually, as not every train/bus company was involved. So once you arrive in Italy there is always a solution. My most memorable moment was being interviewed at a nearly empty Termini stazione, by a radio journalist, who, once he had switched off his equipment, said in English Signora...welcome to the third world... !

Noble, did you thank him? :laughs:
