Ryanair shares advice if travelling today as extreme weather causes 'potential disruptions'

With Christmas just days away, Britons may be travelling to visit family in other parts of the UK, or jetting off to spend the festive period abroad.

However, Storm Eowyn could get in the way of scheduled flights, the airline warned.

It said there will be "potential disruptions" due to the storm for anyone travelling today.

A statement from Ryanair added: "Affected passengers will be notified. "Any passengers travelling to or from the UK on Saturday 21 December should check their Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight.

"We regret any inconvenience caused to passengers by Storm Eowyn, which is outside of Ryanair's control and affects all airlines operating to and from the UK on Saturday 21 December."

Britons can stay up-to-date on the status of their flight on the Ryanair website and app, and they should be notified if their flights are affected.

Storm Eowyn has caused weather warnings in parts of Ireland and could impact the UK.

Poor weather conditions have been causing travel chaos across the UK and Britons should be careful when travelling.

Ryanair shared advice for all holidaymakers jetting off, urging them to arrive at airports in plenty of time to ensure they make their flights.

It said: "We recommend all passengers arrive at the check-in or bag drop desk at least two hours before they are due to fly.
