We are currently in France. With the uncertainty of availability of jet fuel and the disruption this may cause, is there a need to reschedule to an earlier flight than our April 30 reservation? Mo

It’s best to keep your April 30 booking but monitor updates closely in case fuel or schedule disruptions escalate.

What I have been hearing is that the disruption due to lack of air fuel will begin in about 6 weeks or early June, just in time for summer vacations.
Of course, anything can happen at any moment.
And I trust that you will keep monitoring the situation.
Hopefully your airline and or the State Department will keep you updated.

There is an extensive conversation on this topic in this thread: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/general-europe/possible-jet-fuel-shortages
No one in this forum or on TV can predict what will happen today, tomorrow, or April 30. You'll have to make the best decision you can based on your personal risk tolerance and worry level. If you have travel insurance, read the super fine print right now to determine if it will cover a delay situation caused by canceled flight.
