Jet2 has issued an alert to Brits heading to a popular destination.
The travel operator has cautioned of ‘long queues and disruption to flights’. In an update on its travel information page, Jet2 said: “We are aware and are monitoring a National General Strike that has been called in Portugal on June 3, 2026, supported by the Confederation of Portuguese Unions. As a result of this strike action, some transport services in destination and a number of key services at the airport may be disrupted, this could cause longer than normal queues and disruption to flights on this day.”
Jet2 went on to say it is “working hard to keep any disruption to a minimum”. At present, all Jet2 flights are scheduled to operate as normal. Passengers are reminded that check-in closes 40 minutes prior to departure, with holidaymakers urged to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their flight is set to take off.
The alert continues: “We will board all flights and close all gates for an on-time departure, this will allow us to depart as soon as we are advised we can, but, please be prepared for longer than usual wait times on board to depart.
“Please make sure your contact details are up to date in Manage My Booking, and if the situation changes, our team will be in touch.
