Britons who are in Mexico or plan to travel there this weekend could face significant disruption as protests block access to Mexico City's main airport.
In light of this, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued fresh travel advice.
A local teachers' movement blocked access to both terminals at Mexico City International Airport (AICM) on May 22 and May 23.
Media reports suggest that they may extend through the weekend (May 24 and May 25). This could potentially impact holidaymakers using the Spring Bank Holiday to kick-start vacation plans.

Officials warned that travellers may experience "flight disruptions or cancellations" as a result of the blockade.
Transport links to and from the airport may also face "significant disruption", with journeys to the terminals taking longer than usual.
The FCDO advised British travellers: "You should monitor local media and stay in touch with your airline or travel agent."
Those who could be affected by the disruption were urged to check for updates regularly as the situation develops.
Holidaymakers already in Mexico City or with imminent travel plans should allow extra time for airport journeys and prepare for possible schedule changes.
Mexico is a very popular holiday destination known for its dazzling beaches, vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and spectacular museums.
Chichén Itzá, one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico, is even hailed as one of the New Seven Wonders of The World.
In Mexico City, the country's capital, visitors flock in their masses to enjoy the culinary scene, street art and galleries, and festivals celebrating music, dance and more.
Many holidaymakers have taken to Tripadvisor to share their favourite experiences in Mexico City.
A visitor to the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, a natural history museum, said: "If you’re even remotely interested in history, culture, or the roots of Mexico, this museum is a non-negotiable stop." They added that it "completely blew [them] away."
