A MUM and her kids were turned away from a Ryanair flight over a row about the size of the cabin bag as she claims she was “racially profiled”.
Chassidy Robertson was on her way home to London on July 17 after a week-long break in Fuerteventura, Spain, with her two kids and younger sister Danique.
After going through check-in and security, confusion arose when Ryanair took issue with her 18-year-old sister’s cabin bag as they were about to board the flight.
The 28-year-old mum-of-two had paid an extra £25 only 30 minutes earlier, which upgraded her sister to priority boarding and allowed for a 10kg bag on the flight – though still under strict size restrictions that Ryanair claims the bag still flouted.
However finance manager Chassidy says the row erupted because they were told they had not paid priority for the bag and that staff hadn’t liked a “dirty look” or “side-eye” she is said to have given a staff member while scanning her boarding pass.
