How to Avoid the Spanish Air Traffic Strikes
This week, Spanish Air Traffic Controllers have threatened to go ahead with strike action in mid-August. It’s estimated that over 1 million British tourists will travel to Spain for their holidays between May and September, so many of you will be affected. Last year, the threat of strikes loomed over Spain at the height of the summer, however, the disputes were settled and they did not go ahead.
If you are affected by these strikes, perhaps you should think about flying to an airport in neighbouring Portugal and driving to your destination. Airports in Portugal include Lisbon, Faro and Porto, and this alternative will grant you to travel to your holiday destination hassle free. Carriers such as Easyjet, BMIbaby, British Airways, TAP and Jet2 all operate services to these locations.
In any case, we recommend that you check the status of your flight with your airline before you leave for the airport. You should be able to do this on-line. It is also recommend that you have full travel insurance jusy in case flights are canceled and you have to stay in a hotel or pay for extra food etc.
