Considering you wouldn't be touching down in France (obviously) chances are the cancellations wouldn't affect you. Without knowing the reasoning I couldn't comment further really

I assume you booked this flight with your easyjet account, correct?
If so, I'd recommend actually logging into the portal nearer the time to check the timings are still good. (e.g. not delayed, cancelled etc.) - I've always used the app, and found it most useful.

Depends if the French go on strike again.

The French aren't known for not working so you should be OK.

yea we did it on the actual website, but alot of the comments state that the flights were cancelled and not updated or notified on the website or via text so no one knew about the delays until they was actually at the airport and in some cases, hours after their flight was due

Strikes in France might still affect flights to Spain. I was due to fly to Barcelona with some friends over the Easter holidays and our flight was cancelled two hours before departure due to French air traffic control strikes

The French are always on strike no-one even knows why anymore.

I believe it's down to reforms in salaries, working conditions etc. which they're unhappy with.

We missed our holiday to Spain completely and haven't got a refund on our flights or accommodation at all, because the flight insurance didn't cover cancellation due to strikes and our accommodation was booked with Airbnb which doesn't offer refunds

None of ours did and we all tried to claim on our individual insurances. There were 7 of us in total

Yes they are always complaining and this is so pissing off I swear :cry2: :cry: :cry:

For once they have a good reason tho, a new law is about to be here "la loi travail" and it's very bad for employees so yeah they want it to be cancelled \:
