Airport strikes France April possibly May 2024

[JabbaPapa]

Warning for those flying in to France -- there's a strike tomorrow April 25th, which likely will NOT prevent flying in or out of the country on international flights, but is very likely to affect flights between Paris and Bayonne and other regional airports.

There's the risk of a similar but longer strike on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of May.

Revise your travel plans accordingly !!

My flight tomorrow from Madrid to San Sebastián (not even in France) will instead go to Bilbao. Ugh

The May strikes happened later than expected, so they are taking place this weekend.
