Flight cancellations, rail strikes, and now border delays at one of the country's most important ferry ports - travel chaos is going nowhere.
Britain's travel chaos could get even worse today, with further delays expected at the Port Of Dover as the UK and France continue to argue over who is to blame for the gridlock.
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said:"As the schools closed their doors fully yesterday, Saturday could prove busier still this weekend. "Drivers should continue to expect disruption and delays on major holiday routes to the southwest, eastern coast and ports of Dover and Folkestone. "While many have decided to go at the start of the summer holidays, between now and the beginning of September when schools return, each Friday and Saturday will be busy on our roads.Airports and airlines have struggled for months with the return to normal summer demand following two years of coronavirus pandemic-related turbulence.
Thousands of flights have been delayed or cancelled, luggage has been lost, as the aviation sector tries to recruit, screen and train staff, having let many of their workers go during the worst of the pandemic.
