🚨 Heads up, UK holidaymakers! Planning a sunny getaway to Spain? You might want to pack a little extra patience. Major disruptions are expected with Spanish petrol station workers planning strikes right before peak tourist season. The strikes are planned for April 30th and May 3rd, potentially complicating travel plans. ⛽️
But that’s not all! If you’re flying into Spain, be prepared for possible chaos at the airports, too. Ground staff at key airports like Barcelona, Madrid, and Ibiza have been striking over pay disputes since March, hitting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. ✈️
This means potential delays both at petrol stations and airports. Make sure to double-check with your airline for any last-minute flight updates! And remember, passport control might take a bit longer due to a new digital system for Schengen Area entry, so factor that in as well. 🛂
Stay informed, stay prepared, and hopefully, nothing will come between you and that much-needed holiday sun! ☀️🌴
