IF you are looking to take a flight to France on Bank Holiday Monday (August 25) then be aware that strike action is planned by baggage handlers and check-in staff.
Members of the Unite union at Stansted and Gatwick have already voted to stage a 24-hour walk out, with workers at Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle expected to join their colleagues.
While a second day of protest is set to take place on August 29, after the Swissport employees described as 'paltry' a three per cent pay offer from bosses.
The strike action at Stansted will have an impact on operators such as easyJet, Ryanair, First Choice, and Thompson, while the stoppage at Gatwick will hit airlines such as Monarch and Virgin Atlantic.
Swissport has said it will work to try and minimise disruption, but if you are travelling on these dates I would keep an eye on your airline's website.
