Ryanair has announced it has cancelled 190 flights on Friday, 28th September ahead of cabin crew strikes across Europe.
The airline has said that all customers who have been affected should have received an email or text notifying them of their flight cancellation.
Cabin crews across cabin Spain, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Italy and Germany are set to strike after Ryanair failed to reach an agreement during negotiations with unions.
At the moment, cabin crew are employed under Irish contracts meaning they don't necessarily fall under their local laws.

Ryanair says: "[It has] already offered these unions recognition agreements, Collective Labour Agreements, and a move to local contracts/law in 2019."
The airline argues that the 190 flights make up just eight per cent of the 2,400 scheduled flights that day, but it is still frustrating for those customers who will be unable to fly on their original flights.
It isn't just Ryanair cabin crew on strike, as the unions represent staff from a variety of different airlines.

If you are one of the passenger's affected, EU laws say that you are entitled to compensation if you are denied boarding, or if your flight is cancelled or delayed by two hours or more.
For any cancellations, you can get compensation if you're given less than 14 days notice, and you could be entitled to a full refund.
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "We sincerely apologise to those customers affected by these unnecessary strikes on Friday, which we have done our utmost to avoid, given that we have already offered these unions recognition agreements, Collective Labour Agreements, and a move to local contracts/law in 2019.
"These repeated unnecessary strikes are damaging Ryanair's business and our customer confidence at a time when oil prices are rising strongly, and if they continue, it is inevitable that we will have to look again at our capacity growth this winter and in summer 2019.

"We hope these unions will see common sense and work with us to finalise agreements for the benefit of our pilots and cabin crew over the coming weeks without further disrupting our customers or our flights.
"When we can successfully do deals with unions in Ireland, the UK, Germany and Italy, why are some unions in Belgium, Holland and Spain not doing similar deals?"
Ryanair recently announced a change to their baggage policy, meaning passengers will now have to pay for any luggage that will not fit under the seat in front of them from this November.

Previously, passengers were able to put a small cabin sized suitcase in the hold for no extra charge, but in just a couple of months, there will be a charge of up to £10 to do the same.
Luggage also has to be checked in at the main desks under the new rules.
However, passengers can pay £6 to have it stored in the overhead lockers, but there is only capacity for 95 passengers per flight, which wouldn't be everyone on-board.
