All Eurotunnel services have been "temporarily suspended" due to "unexpected strikes" by French staff.

An update on the company's website said: "Due to industrial action in France , all Le Shuttle services [which carry vehicles and passengers] have been temporarily suspended.

"We apologise for the delay to your journey. Further updates will be provided shortly."

The disruption is affecting journeys to and from London , threatening Christmas plans for many travellers.

The industrial action is reported to be over end-of-year bonus pay.

Getlink, the company that manages and operates the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel, said trade unions had rejected a €1,000 (£866) bonus proposed by management.

The union has demanded for the amount to be trebled.

Cancellations set to last until at least Thursday night

It is unknown precisely how long disruption is expected to last.

Greg Hands, minister for London, posted on X (formerly Twitter) he understands all trains from London to Paris have been cancelled until 7pm on Thursday evening.

Trains from Paris to London are cancelled until 8.30pm, Mr Hands added.

He said trains from London to Brussels are cancelled until 7.30pm, with only one train (6.51pm) running in the opposite direction from Brussels to London.

Some services turned around

Eurostar (which carries passengers on foot) said in a post on X: "We would recommend postponing your journey if you can, even if it's until tomorrow."

Some services that had already departed were stopped on route and returned to their starting point, it added.

Le Shuttle said in an update: "Due to industrial action our service is suspended. Customers are advised that, as a consequence of this incident, access to our site is currently unavailable.

"If you are due to travel today please make alternative arrangements or modify your booking."

The Latest on U.S. Travel Restrictions

What to Know: U.S. Travel Restrictions

Beginning today, international visitors who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus can enter the United States by air or across the land borders with Canada and Mexico.

Here’s the latest →

The new policy ends an 18-month ban on nonessential travel from 33 countries, including China, Brazil and European Union members. The ban had affected tourists and those hoping to visit family and friends in the U.S.

The rules reorient the U.S. approach to vetting its visitors during the pandemic.

Instead of basing entry decisions on travelers’ countries of origin, the U.S. is focusing on vaccination status.

International visitors flying into the U.S. now need to show proof of vaccination before boarding and a negative coronavirus test taken within three days of their flight.

The three vaccines available in the U.S. — Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — are accepted, as are vaccines cleared for emergency use by the W.H.O., including AstraZeneca and Covaxin.

Unvaccinated foreign visitors cannot enter the country, with limited exemptions.

Unvaccinated Americans returning home need to test negative for the coronavirus within one day of their flight and show proof they have purchased another test to take after arriving.

The hope is with these longstanding bans being lifted, the U.S. tourism industry will start to recover. The halt on travel caused a loss of nearly $300 billion in visitor spending, according to the U.S. Travel Association.

Keep up with the latest travel news, trends and feature stories.

A Migrant Family’s Struggles: Margarita Solito and her family fled violence and poverty in El Salvador, hoping to build a better life in San Francisco. The city often wasn’t what they thought it would be .

Home-Buying Assistance: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California rejected a Democratic proposal  that would have extended first-time home-buyer loans to some undocumented immigrants. Republicans had widely criticized the bill.

When One Partner Is Deported:  American citizens whose spouses have been deported face wrenching decisions on what is best  for their future, especially when they have children.

Asylum Restrictions:  The Biden administration is considering actions that would make the president’s tough but temporary asylum restrictions almost impossible to lift , essentially turning what had been a short-term fix into a central feature of the asylum system in America.
