Upcoming strikes and protests in France: Travel advice for passengers to Algeria

France is facing a wave of protests and strikes between October 22 and November 5, 2026, overlapping with the Toussaint school holidays. Demonstrations are planned by yellow vest groups on October 24 and 31, while a major union strike is scheduled for November 5. Additionally, student protests are expected on October 22 and 24. The French Interior Minister has empowered local authorities to ban certain gatherings and deploy additional security forces to maintain public order. These events risk disrupting access to major transport hubs, including Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. Travelers heading to Algeria are strongly urged to arrive at the airport earlier than usual, complete online check-in, and monitor real-time traffic and flight updates closely to mitigate the impact of potential delays or cancellations.
