BA industrial action 22nd December to 2nd January

By David Froom | Published: December 14, 2009

Just a very quick post for anyone who thinks they may be affected by the industrial action at BA that has been announced this afternoon. If you missed the news, BA cabin crew have voted to go on strike from 22nd December until 2nd January in a move that is widely thought will bring chaos to anyone travelling with BA over that period. Only around 5% of our customers booked to travel during that period are booked on BA flights, and all of those are charter flights. We do not yet have any information from any tour operators and as such our advice to anyone booked onto a BA charter flight is not to panic and wait until we recieve further information. As soon as information reaches us it will be forwarded to all bookings that are affected.

If you have booked a chalet with us, travelling independently to the Alps with BA, then we recommend that you contact BA with regard to your travel plans. We’re betting it will all be fine.

Life at Interactive Resorts

By Chris Callaghan | Published: December 1, 2009

Few office workers spend their working life chatting about one of the things they love the most. Few get to spend their days surrounded by like-minded friends, banter abounding, helping their clients into the holidays they want. But we do, and we do it well! As a proud member of the sales team here at Interactive Resorts over this past year, I’ve seen it all. “Heroes and Villains” at the Christmas party last year saw everybody in fine form, and rarely if ever have so many cross-dressed Wonder women been in the same room at the same time…most of them Company Directors too!
