A massive power outage crippled Spain and Portugal on Monday, causing widespread transport disruption. Airports operated on backup generators, leading to flight cancellations and delays that continue to impact travel. Train services were halted, stranding thousands of passengers. While power has largely been restored, significant delays persist in air and rail travel. Passengers are advised to check with airlines and rail operators for updates and to consider their travel insurance options regarding potential compensation for disrupted travel plans.
