Several Ryanair passengers were left stranded in Edinburgh after available seats on their Fuerteventura to Dublin flight were capped.
Those travelling on the flight say that as many as 38 people were not able to board the flight that was set to take off on Thursday August 19 as a member of the cabin crew had fallen ill. These customers say that they had found it particularly difficult to return home to Dublin after a lack of support from Ryanair.
Paul Butler, along with his with Rita, were already on board the flight but offered to sacrifice their seats so that a family with a special needs child could travel home as one unit. He told RTE Liveline that the captain had announced over the tannoy that ‘there’s 150 people on, I think that’s all I can take', Dublin Live reports.
