So much for the above post. Sent in by a viewer Gabriel. Vueling cancel some 800 odd flights in concurrence with Iberia Strike
Wish I'd seen it earlier! If I had, I wouldn't have booked my stupid holiday via Spain for next week … :-( Anyway thought I'd let you know Vueling flights have also been cancelled. Here's the link: vuelingnews.They will refund if you call +34931220055 - (don't bother trying using "contact us" on the website, it's just takes you through endless screens which lead nowhere) - but only the half of the journey currently affected (i.e. 18-22 Feb) . My return is on 7 March and they won't refund that leg!
