BA Strike booking a hotel

[scoobydoo-4]

Hi,
We are due to fly out Heathrow to Miami on the 7th August with BA. I have read about the possibility of strike action. Do you think it is worth booking a hotel for that night on a flexible cancellation, just in case of striking? I don’t want to be stranded at the airport all night with two children or am l over panicking. Thank you in advance

it couldn't hurt so long as you are clear when you need to cancel by and it would give you peace of mind.

Yes I would. Booking.com does lots of hotels which are pay when you get there and on most of them you can cancel up to 24 hours before your arrival.

Just make sure you double check all the details before you book.

Hi, thank you. i have booked the Premier inn at Heathrow on a flexi rate, so can cancel up to 1pm on day of arrival. Now I’m wondering whether l need to book one in Miami for our departure date on 28th just in case?

I wouldn't bother , wait and see how the proposed strike plays out first , Miami has a ridiculous amount of airport hotel rooms and only one flight a day impacted by a BA strike (unlike Heathrow which will be severely impacted if the strike happens)
