Air France on Strike beginning Friday

According to the airline and the Unions, it is limited to this Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th... then again possibly on the 30th. My flight is Sunday, the 25th.... What are the chances that it is going to happen? I can't believe this and so disappointed I'll be stressing all week.

Separately, do you have a travel insurance carrier/weblink you recommend?

I doubt you can buy coverage for an airline strike that has already been announced. That would be like buying fire insurance for your home the day after the fire.

You’ll fly, though being stressed about it is perfectly understandable.
Strikes are announced in advance, and if the 25th isn’t on the list, you’re good. Thanks for the info, though.

BTW the chosen dates are huge travel days in France, and for overseas French heading home for spring break. Just recheck your seat, check in early and get to the airport as early as possible because AF will be looking for seats for all the people displaced the previous two days. Unions are exerting maximum pressure before the negotiations.

Hi, any advice if we should change our travel plans since we have a flight from Paris to Berlin on April 4? I’m a bit anxious to wait for some updats whether my flight is a go or no go. Thanks!
