Good job you can rely on the Germans.....
After BA cancelled our flight home from Bologna last night a quick play on the internet and we're on the Eurowings flight from Venice to Heathrow via Düsseldorf.
Or so we thought.
Train up this morning went smoothly but the ATC strike in Italy this afternoon means the first leg of the journey is delayed and connecting flight would be missed. Step up the Eurowings support who have now placed us on a flight via Zurich tomorrow and chauffeured us off to a hotel for the night gratis. What looked like an expensive few days in Venice (or a stopover in the land of Auf Wiedersen Pet) before anything could be done on Monday is now a modest inconvenience and home before Saturday lunchtime.
