They had no printer... because their Kyiv home was destroyed
Notoriously frugal carrier Ryanair has been accused of leaving a family of Ukrainian refugees “shattered” after turning them away from a flight to safety because they didn’t have the resources to print out their tickets or pay a £50 check-in fee. “I can’t believe they’ve been treated like this,” Michelina Primrose, a Nottingham woman who is hosting the fleeing Kyiv family, told.
But due to their circumstances, they were not able to print out their boarding passes for the flight or pay the fee required to reissue the documents, so they were blocked from boarding. Primrose said she and her husband wound up footing the bill for a whole new flight, for which the Ukrainian family had to wait another eight hours.
