## Key points

- Strikes may disrupt transport in Spain and Italy this week.
- Renfe must run 73% of high-speed and long-distance services.
- Check specific trains and flights before travelling.

## Summary

Travellers to Spain and Italy could face delays and cancellations as rail, airline and airport workers plan strikes on 29 and 30 October. The walkouts stem from disputes over safety, working conditions, pay and wider government policies, and may disrupt journeys during a busy travel period.

In Spain, Renfe train drivers plan a 24-hour strike on Thursday, with minimum service rules requiring 73% of high-speed and long-distance trains and 65% of medium-distance trains to run. Ouigo drivers are planning a separate strike on Friday. In Italy, a nationwide general strike on Friday includes rail workers, whose walkout is scheduled from 9pm Thursday to 8.59pm Friday; flights and ground handling at Florence and Pisa airports may also be affected.
