UK Border Force to strike at Christmas
Added to the growing list of strikes in the UK is Border Force staff:

So that's railways, ambulances, nurses, postal workers, and a few more I have forgotten.
Good luck if you are planning a trip.

Boston to Heathrow on Christmas Night for me, with a 2 hour layover at Heathrow on the 26th before catching a flight to Milan. What a mess.

Assuming your flight is not cancelled, if you are in transit rather than entering the UK you shouldn't have a problem as you wont need to show your passport at Border control.

You shouldn't need to go through passport control then assuming any bags are checked through. Good luck.

What is the latest on the metro strike, the museum strike, and the baggage handlers strike in Paris?
