Glasgow holidaymakers heading to airport this week issued travel warning

Travellers across the UK Glasgow have been warned that they may face delays when heading to the airport this week.

Written on the Gov.uk website, a warning states that ongoing strikes could cause delays for some, with people urged to stay up-to-date with the latest advice.

It comes as the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union announced Civil Service industrial action which is said to have an impact on Border Force operations.

The strike days are February 1 (today) and February 2, with it also impacting international arrivals at all UK air and maritime ports, as well as those travelling to the UK from UK border controls in Calais, Dunkirk and Coquelles.

They warn that if you're travelling into the UK via any entry point, you should prepare for disruption and check before you travel, asking passengers to be "patient and respect officers who are working to keep our citizens safe and border secure, and supporting travellers during the strike action."

They add: "There are multiple factors that might influence wait times including an increase in passenger numbers, flight delays and flight bunching. Weather delays, and other ad hoc incidents, can also impact border control queues.

"We advise travellers to check with travel agents, tour operators, and airlines / carriers before travelling, to check if the proposed strike action will affect your journey.

"Passengers can also check airport websites before travelling to stay up to date with the latest information related to travel or possible delays caused by strike action."
