British holidaymakers have faced a nightmare in recent weeks due to delays, cancellations and luggage going missing at the UK’s busiest airports. More problems are expected after British Airways workers at Heathrow voted to strike in a dispute over pay.

Italian trade unions have also threatened further strikes this summer after more than 4,000 passengers were affected by industrial action last month.

Other popular destinations have experienced similar problems to the UK as a result of staffing shortages. And the chaos could soon spread to Norway, Denmark and Sweden as staff at Scandinavian airline SAS vote this week on whether to go on strike. To help encourage them not to promise more flights than they can manage, an amnesty will allow them to retain valuable take-off slots that they would normally lose if they failed to use them a certain number of times in a season.
