To Spain in the next couple of weeks .Strike action is due to take place at a number of Spanish airports including Fuerteventura, Ibiza ,LaPalma,Lanzarote,Seville and Valencia. Be prepared. for long delays.

Youth employment is chronic there. All they have is olives, fish and Seat(owned by VAG). The only thing that keeps them floating is the Tourist trade. Kind of shot themselves in the foot really. Malta here I come. Hasta la vista baby

Can never ever understand why so many Brits want to keep on leaving their own Country .Why not holiday at home,there are plenty of nice beaches , Blackpool Weston supermud etc . spend you money at home Britain need your money.

I went to Fuerteventure once. Took one look out of the aircraft window before we had landed and decided I already wanted to go home. A barren wasteland. Had to endure 2 weeks of the place - never again. I don't know why anyone wants a Spanish beach holiday TBH

Hang on, why aren't you blaming Brexit for this.

Same applies to Portugal boarder force striking at airports

One for Lisbon airport and the other for Faro, Porto and Madeira airports. These strikes will affect the border control at the airports and may lead to longer waiting time to exit the airport.

[calmck]

Just thought I would let him know it's not just Spain.

[gulliver1]

Jno 22.25 Unbelievable. Would not want to be in that queue. Can't blame the French this time like the UK did with the Dover Ferry Queue.

[Hopkirk]

Oh you can always blame the French.

[bobbinwales]

Nobody is blaming the French though gulliver so a pointless point?

I could explain it to you in simple, juvenile terms but I can't help you understand it as I have doubts that you possess the simple intellect.
Strikes at Spanish airports- shooting themselves in foot- major income to country is tourism-. Go figure yourself.
