Will We Or Won't We...
Make it home tomorrow...that is the million dollar question.
All day there have been conflicting reports from various news outlets and including information direct from Olympic Airlines. There is to be a general strike (third in 7 weeks) will all forms of transportation grounded. We have heard things like "all Olympic flights grounded tomorrow" to "one flight per destination" to "everything is fine". What does one believe?
Well, we are either going to make it home or not but I am so ready to get out of here and back to a country where things function amazingly well compared to here.
I'll let you know how this turns out, meanwhile ciao...

Oh wow, I hope you do make it home sooner than later!
You should have no problem.
There shouldn't have been conflicting information. Whenever Olympic go on strike, it's always the "one flight per destination" so as there was only one flight to Canada, you shouldn't have been affected.
It's just destinations (for example London) who usually have three flights per day today only had one.
Hopefully your flight was scheduled to departed either before 12:00 noon or after 16:00 as the air traffic control were also on strike meaning no flights in or out with any airline during that time.
When in Greece, one needs to look at "what is" and not "what should be."
There was conflicting information in the well-known media outlets. Some were saying 'all,' some were saying one per destination.
Made it, last flight out I think, we left at 11:30 am. ellasdevil, we really did get conflicting information especially from Olympic who told us all flights were grounded. Kat, thanks for you info yesterday, fortunately we got out and are safely home...
