Thousands of Ryanair passengers are having to consider alternative travel plans, ahead of next Wednesday’s pilot’s strike.

Irish-based pilots are holding the 24 hour stoppage just five days before Christmas, although there are reports that flights from Shannon won’t be affected as pilots there have already agreed a new pay deal.

Pilots are demanding collective bargaining rights, but the airline says it will never negotiate with unions.
