Hundreds of thousands of people have been warned to expect air travel delays, as Border Force agents become the latest workers to go on strike today
The Border Force walkout is expected to cause huge disruption for air passengers - with a remote possibility that airports could even close, according to a senior official.
"We do have robust plans in place to minimise delays to passengers, but we've been very clear from the start that people should be prepared for disruption and take action to plan ahead."But Brits wanting to travel home by car or by train could also be frustrated, with strike action by railway workers and National Highways staff over the festive period.
And with the railway strikes running from Christmas Eve until December 27, train services are likely to end by Saturday morning at the latest, an expert warned.Amid this widespread chaos on roads, railways and at airports, travel experts have said British people should give themselves as much time as possible to get to their festive destination.
