I've posted this on Ryanair board but relevant to here as well as it's a family who wanted to fly from Derry but instead have decided to go via Belfast with Easyjet.

Story in Irish News (and mentioned on Radio Foyle this morning) about a family who wanted to fly from City of Derry and they had 3 children needing oxygen bottles to breath for medical reasons. Ryanair do not allow passenger oxygen bottles on board and instead wanted £200 extra to provide bottles to the family.

Ryanair cited 'health and safety' reasons.

The family instead cancelled and are flying from Belfast with Easyjet who have no issues with passengers bringing medical oxygen bottles on board.

The headlines in the paper and on radio is 'Ryanair charging for passengers to breath' etc

Another dubious charge/practice that Ryanair will need to address imo.
