Just came on a notice about an air traffic control strike planned in France from 24 to 29 June.
Can anyone confirm this? We have tickets on 24 June from CDG to DFW. Suggestions on how to prepare are appreciated.

French Air Traffic Control Strike
7 June 2014 French air traffic control union SNCTA
calls on all controllers to strike from 24 to 29 June 2014.
This is an old festering bitter dispute. Here's the SNCTA in French announcement.
This will likely be a national shut down, grounding of flights. By law a certain percentage of flights have to run.
Call your airline. Your flight will be brought forward, cancelled or delayed. Don't get caught in a lay over in French customs. Do you have a French visa? That way you can sleep in a hotel instead of a cot on the international arrivals floor. Flying in and out of Paris? You might want to book a hotel and cancel when fit. Hotel and car hire will be slim pickings. Perhaps SNCF will put on extra trains. Eurostar will likely be booked. Air France passengers will take brunt of strike action.
