CITY VIEWS: HAVE STRIKES AND THE DRIVE TO AUSTERITY PUT YOU OFF
SARA ABDOLZADEH | AVIVA
“I had to cancel my holiday to Egypt because of the volcanic ash. But it has not deterred me from travelling by air again this year. I am flying out to South Africa this summer. While I didn’t book this trip, having had to cancel Egypt has made me more wary of booking in future.”
MARIAM BALOGUN | ROYAL BANK OF CANADA
“I do not think I will be changing my summer travel plans as I do not normally fly with British Airways because it is so expensive and there are a lot of other cheaper airlines. Virgin Atlantic provides just as good service for a little less.”
RYAN QUINCEY | LEGAL & GENERAL INVESTMENT
“Anything can happen, any day of the year and we’ve seen the strikes and the volcano this year of course. Even though the recession has hit, you still need to have your holiday and there are a lot of good deals at the moment.”
JACOB BOROWICZ | ACE EUROPEAN GROUP
“I am not put off of flying because all of the problems, including the volcano and everything related has passed now. However, the British Airways strikes have put me off the airline and I will seek an alternative carrier.”
