Woman stranded in Spain after Ryanair claim hand luggage was 'too big'

A diabetic woman was stranded in Alicante after Ryanair refused to let her board a flight home as her hand luggage was "too big".

Teresa Bruce had returning from a five-day trip to Benidorm with friends when she said a Ryanair staff member told her her hand luggage was too big to take on board. Teresa was told she would need to pay £69 to place the suitcase in the hold despite travelling with the same case just days before.

The Asda employee said she didn't have enough money to pay the fee after having spent her cash on her holiday. She said: "I couldn't understand why I needed to pay for the case when I had flown over from Prestwick with it just five days before."
