Shannon Wotherspoon, from Kirkcaldy, Scotland, was left 'scared and upset' after her passport was rejected by Ryanair staff in Alicante, Spain

A student nurse was banned from flying with Ryanair after her face swelled up - causing airport staff to double check her passport.

She was due to fly back from Alicante, Spain, to the UK with two friends last Monday, the Daily Record reports. Ryanair’s decision meant the 24-year-old from Kirkcaldy , Scotland, had to stump up more than £200 for her new flight back to Edinburgh, via Gatwick, and got home 10 hours later than planned."The woman at the counter gave my passport a close examination and immediately started shaking her head.“She eventually asked a supervisor and I could see her shaking her head and saying I couldn’t fly.

The passenger added that she had different types of ID, including her driving licence, which could have proved her identity.
