At present, having a seat booked is not much of a guarantee of getting to your destination on time - or indeed at all. On the one hand you've got legacy carriers struggling to operate their published schedules[0][1][2] and on the other major European hubs are also struggling, AMS halted ticket sales in order to avoid complete meltdown[3][4] due to lack of trained staff, and FRA is also chaotic due to staffing issues and strikes[5][6] Low cost carriers such as Easyjet are also having to cancel hundreds of flights.[7][8] To be frank, air travel in Europe is a total mess, it's seems like it's going to take a while for the operators to get a grip.
