Brits hoping to jet off to Spain should be prepared for more flight cancellations, Ryanair have warned.
The airline is said to potentially be facing disruption until January 2023 due to Spanish unions planning to strike periodically.

Currently some Ryanair workers in Spain represented by the USO union are striking, with Madrid, Málaga, Seville, Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona, Girona Santiago de Compostela, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca airports affected.
However, the strikes are far from over.
Union leaders plan to strike on four days of every week until January to press demands for higher pay and better working conditions, a leader of the USO union said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement warned that the strike action will take place every single week from August 8 to January 7 - with strikes every Monday-Thursday in that time.
"As the company has been unable to listen to the workers, we have been forced to call new strike days," said Lidia Aransanz, a leader for USO's Ryanair section. "The unions are demanding 22 days of holiday and two extra months payment per year to comply with Spanish legislation", she added.
A statement by Ryanair said: "Ryanair has recently reached an agreement with the main Spanish CCOO union on pay, rosters and allowances for its Spanish cabin crew. Recent strikes by USO/SITCPLA have been poorly supported with minimal effect. Ryanair has operated over 45,000 flights to/from Spain over the last 3 months with less than 1% affected by crewing and Ryanair expects minimal (if any) disruption this winter."
