A full slate of labor strikes are planned throughout Europe this month, which could impact both plane and train travel.
Both flights and trains could be delayed as a result of the various labor actions in the coming weeks. Here’s a breakdown of the locations where strikes are expected to take place and when.
EasyJet workers filed notice of an indefinite strike on September 16, according to EuroNews.
While exact dates for the strike have yet to be revealed it is expected that once the walkout begins it could impact easyJet operations throughout France.
The strike plan was triggered by the airline’s decision to close its Toulouse hub.
If Portugal is on your to-do list this month, be aware that some public transport workers are planning to strike.
Specifically workers at Carris, which operates buses, trams and funiculars in Lisbon, plan to strike starting September 18, EuroNews reports.
This strike however, will be limited, starting at 10 p.m. the night before and ending at midnight on September 18.
Even amid the strike however, there will still be minimum services for disabled individuals and for emergency needs.
Italy is one of the most popular travel destinations this fall. If you happen to bound for the country this month, be prepared for a nationwide public transport strike.
Starting on September 20, workers plan to strike for 24 hours. On that date, workers supporting bus, tram and commuter train operations plan to walk out.
The strike in Italy is due to pay and working conditions, per EuroNews.

The scent of burning wood filled my nostrils as I pushed through the large paned doors of Fore Street in Portland, Maine. The restaurant, with its tavern-like atmosphere and rustic wood and brick accents, instantly felt welcoming.
The Seven Wonders of the World: it’s a group as iconic as The Beatles, as ancient as history itself, and as lore-heavy as a Hinge date from Bushwick who really found themselves in Bali. And while seven may seem like a compact number—as with any great classic—there’s been a slew of reboots and sequels since the original list from the ancient world dropped nearly 2,000 years ago. We compiled our own list earlier this year, and have coined some sites ‘Eighth Wonders’ (including in this fun piece about New Zealand’s pink and white terraces from Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings). Even the so-called original list is likely a remix too, as the oft-cited first version from ancient Greek historian Herodotus exists only in reference, having been long lost since its days on the Museum of Alexandria’s shelves.
In October 2022, I took a two-week backpacking trip through Europe, where I slept in shared train cabins and budget Airbnbs.

Big cities are my Roman Empire. I love staying in the heart of a city, but it can be hard to find hotels that offer a prime location and perfectly blended amenities that suit my travel style. Enter the Hyatt Centric Downtown Nashville.
I think of myself as a well-traveled individual with a very solid knowledge of geography and tourist sights. Most of the people at Matador Network see themselves in the same way. After all, we live and breathe travel day in, day out. Yet, apparently, none of us know much about Germany.
