Flights, ferries, and Eurostar trains to and from France are again being disrupted by another general strike. Airlines warned passengers to expect delays and cancellations to continue to the weekend. Passengers were also advised to allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport given the disruption to public transport.

Eurostar, has been running a reduced and revised timetable since early December because of the ongoing strike action, said ski trains will be disrupted this weekend due to the closure of some railway lines in the Alps region.

“These unavoidable changes ensure that these trains can still run by avoiding the line closures put in place by SNCF,” said Eurostar.

The changes means some skiers will have to arrange additional nights’ accommodation and onward travel.

“Please be advised that there may be limited accommodation available in Bourg St Maurice, Moutiers or Aime la Plagne,” Eurostar warned passengers.

Passengers can exchange their ticket for free for an future date or a full refund.

Unions have called for another day of protest today as part of a long-running battle with the French government over pension reform.

Protests are planned for several cities including Paris, where the Eiffel Tower was closed Thursday.

On the Paris Metro only lines 1 and 14, which are automated, are running as normal. All other Metro lines are running a limited service.

Ferry services are also effected. Brittany Ferries has cancelled sailings from Portsmouth to Le Havre through Saturday due to strike action in the port.

P&O has cancelled at least one sailing Thursday morning.
