Veteran left 'stranded' after Ryanair knocked him back in boarding pass row
dailyrecord.co.ukA partially-sighted pensioner claims he was left stranded at an airport after Ryanair stopped him from boarding his flight.SAS veteran Brian Denvir said a mix-up with the name on his boarding pass meant check-in staff at Cork airport refused to let him onto his flight to Manchester Airport.
