Many passengers are likely to face longer lines and delays during this festive period, and some could find themselves stuck at the airport before being allowed into the terminal, according to Paul Charles, chief executive of The PC Agency.
Mark Serwotka is the general secretary of the PCS.
He said that the strikes could be stopped tomorrow if the government put more money on the table.
