Tourists planning trips to holiday destinations across Europe might be marred with some travel disruptions as the continent has been witnessing a number of travel strikes.

Strikes are a common feature in Europe, as workers often withhold their labour to demand improved pay and working conditions.

While some walkouts are scheduled months in advance, others may be announced at the last minute, so it’s always wise to check for any disruptions before you travel.

Here is the full list of cities where travel strikes are planned.

Pilots and cabin crew at Discover have approved strike action through two separate ballots.

They plan to stage walkouts if the airline, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, does not address their demands regarding pay and working conditions.

As a result, unlimited strikes could now occur on Discover flights.

The airline operates a fleet of 27 aircraft on routes from its bases in Frankfurt and Munich to various holiday destinations across Europe and beyond.

Security staff strikes at Alicante-Elche Airport in Spain have been extended. Initially planned for August 1-4, additional strike dates have now been scheduled for August 15, 16, 17, 18, 30, and 31.

The strikes will impact the airport, serving the Costa Blanca, between 8:30-9:30 am and 6:00-7:00 pm local time.

British holiday company Jet2, which operates package holidays from this airport, noted on its website: “The strike, supported by the airport’s security staff, will lead to increased congestion at security control.” They advised passengers to arrive well in advance.

However, airport operator Aena has reported that there have not yet been significant delays to Alicante’s operations.

Trains in Scotland may face delays or cancellations if proposed strikes proceed.

ScotRail’s 1,300 drivers are set to vote on whether to strike or take other actions due to a pay dispute with the union Aslef.

ScotRail operates trains connecting major tourist destinations such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness.

While specific strike dates have not been announced, the potential disruptions could impact the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which takes place in August.

Workers on France’s Autoroutes du Sud (ASF) and Vinci motorways have launched a series of summer strikes in response to declining staff numbers.

Weekend walkouts earlier this month disrupted holidaymakers embarking on their first summer trips.

It remains uncertain whether additional strike actions will occur in the coming weeks.

A public transport strike is scheduled to occur in the Netherlands’ largest cities on September 12, with the possibility of additional walkouts.

The strike is timed to precede the Cabinet’s budget proposal, with workers hoping it will address their request for earlier retirement options for those in physically demanding jobs.

Public transport services in Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam will be affected.
