Jet2 issues urgent warning for all Edinburgh holidaymakers travelling to Spain

An urgent warning has been issued by popular airline Jet2, for any customers travelling to Spain from today and through into next week.

Jet2 flights operating to Fuerteventura, Alicante and Lanzarote are at risk of delays due to strikes at Spanish airports, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The airline has asked holidaymakers to make sure they arrive for their flight at least two hours prior to their departure. Jet2 has also noted that they are trying to keep disruption to a bare minimum for customers.

"Please arrive at the airport at least two hours before your departure time. Check-in closes 40 minutes before a flight's scheduled departure time.

"For up-to-date information, please check the [travel information] page again, as well as the departure screens and listen out for any announcements. We'll have you on your way as soon as we can."
