Ryanair issue Spain travel warning to all customers as new rule sees item banned

Holidaymakers with flights booked to popular Spanish resorts through Ryanair this summer should be aware of a newly-banned item which you wont be able to board the plane with.

The cheap and cheerful airline has recently enforced new rules for parties flying to the likes of Ibiza, Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife South from the UK, as reported by Bristol Live.

In mass emails recently sent out to passengers, Ryanair said: "In order to prioritize the comfort and safety of all passengers, Ryanair will implement the following restrictions on your upcoming flight to Spain: Customers will not be allowed to carry alcohol on board and all cabin baggage will be searched at the boarding gates.

"Any alcohol purchased in airport shops or elsewhere must be packed carefully in a suitable item of cabin baggage, which will be tagged at the gate and then placed in the aircraft hold free of charge if you have purchased priority boarding or have a small piece of hand luggage."

The Liverpool Echo reports that anyone found to be concealing alcohol in a bid to bring it on board will be removed from the flight altogether, without refund or compensation.

Similar rules have been put in place across a number of Spanish resorts too, in a bid to ensure safe alcohol consumption in the sun.

Those with all-inclusive stays booked in Magaluf, S'Arenal, Playa de Palma and Sant Antoni de Portmany are restricted to six alcoholic beverages per day.
