At the mercy of stewardesses

This Easter is the second to last weekend that I and Sanna can still travel with airplanes, as the pregnancy is on so late stages. So, we were pondering on visiting Taivalkoski and Oulu up north, but there is a possibility for stewardesses strike and most of Finnish planes would stay on the ground.

The strike will start on Saturday — middle in Easter, nice timing gals! — and the ending date is not known yet. The unions are currently negotiating to solve this issue, but if they cannot come into conclusion before tomorrow 18.00, the strike will begin on Saturday.

We might take the risk and buy the tickets. Finnair will compensate the tickets, at least they have promised this on their website, so we should not have any monetary losses. But then we had to come back from Oulu by train and that will take ages.
