Diabetic Scot abandoned at Alicante airport after Ryanair claim hand luggage is 'too big'

A diabetic woman was left stranded in Alicante after Ryanair refused to let her board a flight home with her hand luggage because it was 'too big'.

Teresa Bruce had travelled to Benidorm from Prestwick Airport with pals for a five-day trip and was queueing for her flight home when she was approached by a Ryanair staff member.

The 63-year-old, from Irvine, was told her hand luggage was too big to take on board and she would need to pay €69 to place the suitcase in the hold, despite travelling with the same case days earlier.
