The total number of cancelled flights at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport surpassed 40 on the third day of an indefinite strike by ground handling staff which Spanish authorities have estimated could affect two million passengers this summer. Following the cancellation of 20 flights on Tuesday, a further 18 flights were cancelled on Wednesday and at least four more on Thursday, taking the total to 42 flight cancellations. If your new flight departs the following day or later, accommodation and transportation between the airport and the hotel must also be provided.
