Orchestra is stranded in Paris by airline strike
OrchestrasWe warn readers occasionally against putting their faith in budget airlines.
Here’s another cautionary tale.
The excellent orchestra of Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava flew from Prague to Paris yesterday to open the concert season at Les Invalides. While still on board, they were informed that their return flight had been cancelled due to a strike.
After a sleepless night, seats were secured for about 70 musicians on flights to Vienna and Prague – at vastly inflated prices.
Moral of the story: don’t fly budget. It usually costs more.
