Holidaymakers travelling with Ryanair could face flight disruptions this summer if cabin crew go ahead with threats to strike.
Industrial action has been threatened by unions in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and Belgium over pay.
Organisations such as SITCPLA and USO have come together to demand an uplift and claim that they have “no other option” but to walk out if it is not granted.

It comes after ultra-low cost Irish airline Ryanair walked away from talks with USO and SITCPLA on Tuesday, as reported by Bloomberg.
A spokesperson for SITCPLA said: “We’re coordinating our actions with European counterparts.”
The unions have said in a joint statement that Ryanair lacked commitment to dialogue and said that it had acted in bad faith.
Negotiations made “almost no progress” as a letter from Ryanair said that the unions had “unrealistic demands and refusal to meaningfully engage”.
Exactly when the strikes are planned for is unclear, as well as how many flights would be impacted.
If industrial action goes ahead, many holidaymakers could be impacted.
A spokesperson for Ryanair told The Mirror UK : “Ryanair has negotiated collective agreements covering 90% of our people across Europe. In recent months we have been negotiating improvements to those agreements as we work through the Covid recovery phase.
"Those negotiations are going well and we do not expect widespread disruption this summer.
"In Spain, we are pleased to have reached a collective agreement with CCOO, Spain’s largest and most representative union, delivering improvements for Spanish-based cabin crew and reinforcing Ryanair’s commitment to the welfare of its cabin crew.
"These announcements by the much smaller USO and SITCPLA unions are a distraction from their own failures to deliver agreements after three years of negotiations and we believe that any strikes they call will not be supported by our Spanish crews.”
