Forty-four flights to and from Charleroi Airport next Saturday have already been cancelled. It is unclear how many flights will be axed on Sunday. Ryanair hopes to offer an alternative to passengers whose flights have been cancelled.

With how common these strikes are I wonder why people still book planes for vacations in the summer. Every summer there seem to be 2 or 3. It is basically playing Russian roulette with your holiday. Not that I look forward to my drive this weekend, but at least it is in my own hands. I just wish international train tickets would be priced a bit more competitive.

And to erase any doubt: Ryanair are a bunch of scum and the pilots have my full support.
- Where are you? A European train ticket is a pretty good deal. And if you don't live in UK there's an equivalent to the European one for the UK.
  
  For single travelers, train tickets are really expensive.
  
  Het is nog steeds ongeveer 2 tot 3 keer zo duur als vliegen, voor een langere reistijd. Zolang de prijzen niet gelijkwaardig zijn, zullen mensen helaas de goedkoopste optie blijven nemen.
  
  I had no idea high speed and night trains were included. For our trip we'll be splitting the car costs three ways so that is hard to beat, but this is something to keep in mind for future solo travels. When I looked up the A to B tickets they were 200+ euro's per person.
