France strike: Foreign Office warns of Easter cross-channel disruption
The Foreign Office has warned of more cross-channel travel chaos this weekend due to the looming France strike.
It says there is a ‘possibility of delays over the Easter bank holiday weekend as high levels of cross-channel traffic on all routes are expected.’
It urges travellers to check for the latest update from their travel operator before leaving.
“Where possible, make sure you have a confirmed booking before you travel.”
It is prudent to plan for possible delays, it says.
“There is also ongoing France strike action affecting multiple sectors including transport networks. “
“Coordinated strike action and large-scale demonstrations are next planned for Thursday 6 April.”
FCO also warns of potential delays arriving at Portugal airports.
Immigration officers are set to walk out before the weekend for several days.
“Between 6-10 April there may be travel disruption due to industrial action.”
“If you are travelling over this period, allow additional time to clear border control.”
