Hi

Due to fly out on Monday and heard there is a bus/coach driver's strike on that is affecting transfers. Has anyone been caught up in this and what should we expect? We have booked transfers with our holiday company - how are they coping?

Thanks

Doesn't mention Menorca on there, and they've been hit the hardest.
