Brit stranded at airport after Ryanair pull her to one side and demand £59 fee
Ryanair "flight attendant was determined she wasn't getting on the plane" because of oversized hand luggage.Teresa Bruce had travelled to Benidorm from Prestwick Airport with pals for a five-day trip just days earlier with the same bag.But she was told by an employee of the Irish airline that she'd need to pay €69 (around £59) to place the suitcase in the hold.The 63-year-old, from Irvine, Scotland, was out of cash and couldn't pay the hefty fee.By the time a friend transferred her the money, the operator then said it was too late to board - despite Teresa saying there were still people on the steps at the plane.The Asda worker told the Daily Record: "We were at the gate queuing for priority when a woman came up to me and told me to go with her and bring my suitcase."I went with her and she told me my suitcase was too big to go on the plane. I said 'how can it not come on the plane? I travelled here with it'."She told me I would have to pay €69 but it was the end of my holiday and I didn't have any money left."I couldn't understand why I needed to pay for the case when I had flown over from Prestwick with it just five days before."Teresa desperately needed to get home that day to take medication for her Type 2 diabetes but was instead forced to sleep in the airport in a "frightening" experience."I need to take a jab every Thursday for my Type 2 diabetes and I didn't take it with me as it needs to be refrigerated.
