Have booked trip for end May to Paris. Not sure if the strikes (which include Air Traffic controllers)
will affect arrival/departure from DeGaulle airport.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
THis strike seems more serious than many others have and more comprehensive in
scope of workers striking. (they are opposed to extending required work age from 62 to 64 due
to pension fund deficits)
Thanks

The strikes are still going on right now, but their impact on travel inside Paris is limited by now - the metro is running almost normally. The worst part is the garbage collection strike.
But end May is in 2.5 months: I cannot see how the strikes could still go on by then - it would be unprecedented, longer than 1968 even. Unless there are strikes on a new topic, that is.
In any event: long-haul flights typically have priority when there's an Air traffic Control strike.
This was very helpful. I appreciate it!
Sorry you are having to navigate the garbage issue.. may it soon be resolved.
