Ryanair charges sick passenger for tea and biscuits
10.10.10
Ryanair – the airline that plans to charge passengers to use the onboard toilet – charged a man for tea and biscuits shortly after he fell unconscious and had to be attended by doctors on a flight. The doctors feared he was having a heart attack, but the plane had no medical equipment onboard, not even a blanket, the Herald reports.
Eye-witnesses on the plane told the Sunday Herald that the man, in his fifties, took ill an hour before the Ryanair flight from Marseille was due to land at Edinburgh Airport. Two doctors on board responded to a distress call from cabin staff, but were to the told the only medical equipment on board was anti-sickness drugs and bandages.
After regaining consciousness, the passenger – whose condition was then found to be not as grave as had been feared – was advised to have some sweet tea and biscuits. His wife was then charged for the refreshments by Ryanair's cabin crew.
Do they charge for anti-sickness drugs and bandages as well?
