Britons travelling to Mexico City face potential disruption this weekend as protests by a local teachers' movement may block access to the city's main airport.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) issued a warning following blockades that occurred on Thursday.
The teachers' movement has been staging various protests across the capital in recent days.
On March 20, these severely impacted transport links to and from Mexico City International Airport (AICM).
