Europe's travel strikes: Flight and train disruption you can expect in August and September
28.08.2024 - 23:24 / euronews.com / Milan Malpensa
Strikes are a regular occurrence in Europe, as employees withhold their labour to fight for better pay and conditions.
Walkouts are sometimes planned months ahead but others are announced last minute, showing that it always pays to check before you travel.
Luckily, we have gathered all of the strike information together below.
Read on to find out where and when are walkouts taking place.
If your flight or train is cancelled or delayed, you will be entitled to a new ticket or compensation. Read our guide for the full details.
Pilots and cabin crew of Lufthansa-owned airline Discover voted in favour of strike action in two separate ballots and now the dates of the walkouts have been confirmed.
Pilots and cabin crew will walk ut from 27-30 August and all Discover departures from Germany will be affected.
In a statement, Discover said: "The trade unions Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) and the Independent Flight Attendants' Organisation (UFO) have called for strikes on all Discover Airlines flights from August 27th until the 30th at midnight. We are working to minimise the impact on our guests. Please check your current flight status regularly and enter your contact details in your booking."
The airline has a fleet of 27 planes operating routes from Frankfurt, where it is based, and Munich to holiday destinations around Europe and overseas.
Italy's transport sector is forbidden from going on strike between 27 July and 5 September, when most Italians take their holidays, meaning disruption at the height of the summer is unlikely.
After that date, a number of strikes are planned.
If you are flying to, from or across Italy on 7 September you may experience delays or cancellations.
Pilots and cabin staff at Italy’s flagship carrier ITA Airways and budget airline Wizz Air plan to strike from 1-5pm.
Air traffic controllers at Rome Fiumicino and Olbia Airport, and baggage handlers at Milan Malpensa, Florence Amerigo Vespucci and Pisa Galileo Galilei plan to walk out over the same four-hour period.
Italy’s Civil Aviation Authority’s website will be updated with further details on possible disruption closer to 7 September.
Train passengers in Italy may experience disruption on Sunday 8 September as drivers, conductors and other on-oard staff around Italy plan to strike for 24 hours.
The protest could impact both regional trains and long-distance services operated by state-owned Trenitalia and private company Italo.
Public transport passengers may face delays and/or cancellations on Monday 9 September as staff at bus, tram and commuter train operators around the country plan to strike for eight hours.
The timing and impact of the strike, which is backed by some of Italy’s main transport unions, will vary from city to city.

13 Travel Makeup Bags to Keep Your Beauty Essentials Secure and Organized
The best travel makeup bags keep your beauty and skincare essentials secure and organized while in transit, and help protect the rest of your belongings from accidental spills and leaks. A few years ago, I ruined one of my favorite tote bags after a bottle of foundation broke in my old makeup bag and spilled everywhere. There goes my tote bag and my overly priced foundation. After that, I decided to invest in a protective, durable travel makeup bag that could handle bumpy car rides, long-haul flights, and a reckless suitcase toss or two from TSA. The best options are also roomy enough to fit a vacation's worth of makeup while still being compact enough to neatly fit in your carry-on or personal item. And bonus points go to the cosmetic cases and bags that feature smart pockets or loops to keep small products like brushes, lipsticks, and eyeliner in place.

A Cruise Through West Africa Reframed My Expectations of My Homeland
The rapidly brightening sky was painted with swaths of orange, pink, and yellow. The early-morning light revealed a city that seemed to be little more than a patchwork of haphazardly planned mid-rise buildings in varying states of repair, punctuated with sprawling bushes, trees quivering in the morning breeze, and lawns sloping toward the nearby sea. The nocturnal beep-beep of tree frogs gave way to the insistent chirp of morning birds that rose from the trees to swoop across the sky like animated chevrons. As I watched the Senegalese sunrise on my first day in Africa, I was vibrating with anticipation. Dakar was waking up, and I was here to witness it.
