Alvaro Iturmendi, travel insurance expert at Confused.com, said: “Road works affecting the M25 could have major disruptions to those flying in and out of London’s busiest airports next week.
“So those who need to travel to Gatwick and Heathrow are being urged to plan ahead.”
The expert added: “Our research found that UK holiday goers tends to only arrive at the airport 1.5hrs before a short haul flight, and 3 hours for long haul.
“As motorists are being encouraged to consider alternative routes during this time, this could mean that these also become heavily congested as a result.
“So finding other means of transport, such as train services which go direct into the airport terminal, could be the best option.”

“But travellers should still allow themselves plenty of time to get to airports, as it’s likely that the whole transport network will face major delays.”
Mr Iturmendi then issued a warning regarding compensation.
He said: “As the disruptions aren’t anything to do with airlines or airports themselves, it’s unlikely that compensation will be offered to those who miss their flights.
“If you’re unsure, our to whether travel insurance will cover missed flights might help.”
