Q&A: As the Ryanair pilot strike looms, what passenger rights do you have?

With Ryanair pilots set to strike this day next week, thousands booked on flights with the airline are understandably anxious to see if their travel plans are affected.

Some 100 Irish pilots are set to strike over what their union says is Ryanair’s failure to engage on issues around transparency and seniority.

The airline has said the strike is unnecessary and that it has attempted to meet with the union on the issues, but to no avail.
