The strikes in France continue and more than 50,000 travellers bear the brunt, as flights and trains have been cancelled. Trade unions have called for industrial action against proposed changes to pensions to continue this week, ahead of another general strike and mass protests.

Unions representing ground staff and air traffic controllers have joined the strike so flights to have been affected.

Around 20 percent of flights – primarily short haul – were cancelled on Thursday and Friday last week though services returned to normal over the weekend and were generally reported to running as normal on Monday.

Airline employees have to give at least 48 hours notice of how many intend to strike, so airlines can contact customers about any changes.

French airports Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Beauvais, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux were the most affected by cancellations.

Something to note for those flying to Paris – RER B services between the city and Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports will be running at a reduced rate.

Eurostar said it is running a reduced service until December 12.

On Friday, nearly a third of train workers walked out, and hotel reservations dropped by 30-40 percent on Thursday, the first day of the strike.

Calais Frethun station was closed over the weekend and will remain closed on Monday, but it will be possible to board or disembark in Lille Europe, Eurostar said.
