Passengers are advised to check flight status using the easyJet online flight tracker, as 27 return flights have been cancelled in advance
The strike by Portugal’s National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Staff (SNPVAC) is demanding better working conditions and bonuses for cabin crew members, affecting 62pc of easyJet’s scheduled flights during the strike period
