Flight disruption seems more certain than ever with the news that striking BA cabin crew have the support of international ground staff.
Ground crews and baggage handlers in Frankfurt, New York and Australia have pledged action, with possible protests being prepared in other countries.
In addition, end of month flight schedules could be thrown into even more disarray with crews at Air France calling for a "solidarity strike" to take place over three days on 28 March.
Meanwhile, BA and Unite are holding last minute talks with the hope of suspending this weekend's industrial action.
BA's CEO Willie Walsh and Unite boss Tony Woodley met in London yesterday but chances of the strike being called off are looking slim.
According to the airline, a significant number of cabin crew are crossing the picket line by offering to work as normal during the strike.
Consequently, the airline is currently adding more flights to its schedule; some previously cancelled flights have been reinstated, while other destinations now have extra capacity.
The seven day 'split strike' will take place from 20 - 22 and 27 - 30 of March.
The dispute between BA and Unite follows disagreements over reductions in crew numbers and pay.

More and more British Airways cabin crew are crossing the picket line by offering to work as normal during planned industrial action.
The number is expected to grow before Saturday, the first day of the strike.
Consequently, the airline is currently adding more flights to its schedule; some previously cancelled flights have been reinstated, while other destinations now have extra capacity.
BA's CEO Willie Walsh said this means that an extra 12,000 passengers will be transported during the initial strike period of three days.
Also today, the operational staff at London Heathrow met to discuss how to best reduce airport chaos during the strike.
However it is expected that fewer travellers will present themselves at the airport due to high profile coverage the strike is receiving.
Meanwhile, a volunteer contingent of 400 pilots and 600 ground staff is at the ready to work as cabin crew during the first strike.
Nevertheless, Unite is urging the British Transport Secretary Lord Adonis to launch an urgent investigation into the speedy initiation of these volunteers.
The union said that using "fast-tracked and under-trained" volunteers would further damage the airline's reputation.

British Airways has announced it will fly 60% of its passengers during the first cabin crew strike, due to take place on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of March.
The airline hopes to transport 45,000 customers on each of these three days, while thousands more will be switched to flights operated by other carriers.
Plans for the second strike period - between the 27th and 30th of March - have not yet been finalised but will be announced after the first strike has ended.
Dates for the industrial action were finally announced by BA last Friday, following the breakdown of lengthy negotiations between the airline and the unions.
The seven day 'split strike' will affect thousands of travellers coming and going on their Easter vacations.
The airline plans to operate all flights from London City airport, all long haul routes and 50% of short haul routes from Gatwick.
Seats have been secured on flights operated by rival airlines such as Flybe who, in response, have bumped up their flight frequency.
The dispute between BA and Unite comes after disagreements over reductions in crew numbers and pay.
