Something tells me this is no ordinary tele of woe….I smell a “set up”.Wonder which action group is behind this?. You will notice how all the other airlines have been very quiet!! – bet they would have done exactly the same.

I was surprised when I read this article, because surely safety is of paramount importance – if non disabled people were turned away would this story be in the news?

I’ve travelled with all of the UK low cost airlines, and have to say that Ryanair stands out as the most courteous and helpful of them all.

As someone with a disability who has travelled with RyanAir many times I have to say I have never been treated with anything other than courtesy – and I was not charged for a wheelchair either!!

I also work for the largest disability organisation in Ireland and I think you will find that RyanAir acted “within the law”…and I doubt any other airline would carry such a large group of visially impaired passengers either.
Just my “tuppence worth”
