One week before we are scheduled to fly to Ghana for a friend's wedding we see this article, stating that the national airline, Ghana International Airlines, has ceased operation. There isn't any official information about this, no one is answering questions, and there aren't any alternatives being offered...
Luckily, we chose to pay a little bit extra and fly British Air.
Unluckily, there are planned strikes at Heathrow over the bank holiday weekend, which threaten to shut down the entire airport.
Air travel certainly isn't what it used to be (i.e reliable). And for anyone traveling internationally, it definitely pays to make sure your travel insurance covers you if your airline goes out of business (note to self: check our travel insurance to see if we're covered when airlines go kaput).
