Edinburgh airport passenger kicks off on Ryanair flight over cold lasagne

A drunk Scottish man caused a disturbance while on board a Ryanair flight that landed at Edinburgh Airport after claiming he was served up a “freezing” cold lasagne.

Samuel Smith, 63, shouted “Ryanair is sh*te” and yelled at cabin crew that the pasta meal was “f***ing freezing” during his angry outburst. Smith then lashed out at wife Anne who was attempting to calm him down by taking off his wedding ring and launching it at his embarrassed spouse.

The captain of the aircraft was made aware of the incident and alerted police who were waiting for Smith when the plane landed at Edinburgh Airport in August 2020. Smith was subsequently arrested and charged and appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday where he admitted committing a breach of the peace while on board the aircraft.
