A woman with diabetes was abandoned at a Spanish airport after Ryanair said her hand luggage was "too big". Teresa Bruce had to sleep alone overnight at Alicante airport without her medication after she was not allowed to board the plane with her suitcase.
The 63-year-old Scot had been on holiday with her friends in Benidorm for five days. She was refused entry on to the flight headed for Prestwick Airport unless she paid €69 to have her suitcase placed in the plane's hold.
Teresa was plucked from the queue at the airport by a member of staff for the airline and told to pay the fee if she wanted to return home with all her luggage. The Type 2 diabetic was baffled by Ryanair's stance because she had flown out with the same case just days earlier.
