A full list of the strikes set to cause travel disruption across Europe in December
Travel is set to be heavily impacted by industrial action during the busy festive period this year.
Rail and aviation unions are threatening strikes throughout December and January across Europe. It's likely to cause disruption as people attempt to get home for the holidays.
So where are strikes taking place in Europe this Christmas?
More than 100 Eurostar security staff are set to strike in the run up to Christmas. They will walk out on 16, 18, 22 and 23 December with the RMT union saying industrial action will “severely affect” trains.
Eurostar and Mitie, the company that employs the security staff, says it will update passengers with any impact to services.
ACV Puls and CNE unions have told budget airline Ryanair that “staff will express their anger” over the festive season if their demands over the treatment of workers aren’t met.
They are considering strike action over Christmas after the budget airline closed its base of operations in the country, forcing staff to work elsewhere in Europe. Exact strike dates have not been confirmed yet.
Unions in France have called a running strike from 2 to 4 December. It is expected to cause major disruption for the nation's rail network.
Just four in 10 trains will run on high-speed TGV and Intercités lines but local services won’t be affected.
Though timetables will theoretically return to normal on Monday, there are likely to be some lingering effects of the strikes.
International services will also be affected with only one in three TGVs to Switzerland, one in two to Germany and one in three to Italy running. There will be no services to Spain during the strike.
Union leaders have also filed strike notices for the Christmas and New Year’s weekends although there is no confirmation yet
