Travel warning as hundreds of flights to European tourist destination to be affected

• A general strike is planned across Portugal for 3 June, involving multiple trade unions, including cabin crew and transport workers.
• The strike, called by the CGTP umbrella union, protests government labour reforms that would ease employee dismissals and lift outsourcing caps.
• Around 500 flights are expected to be disrupted, potentially affecting airlines such as Tap Air, easyJet, and Ryanair, according to the SNPVAC cabin crew union.
• Public transport, including Lisbon and Porto Metros, will also be impacted as the FECTRANS transport union joins the industrial action.
• Tap Air is offering passengers with tickets for 3 June flights the option to change their travel dates without additional charges.
