A British woman says she is denied boarding by Ryanair staff after they notice a small tear in her passport before a flight to Lanzarote. According to the report, the passenger had planned a holiday costing about £700 and was stopped when staff identified the damage to the travel document. The account describes the tear as minor, and the woman alleges the decision prevents her from travelling despite having a valid passport overall. The dispute focuses on whether the passport damage meets airline requirements for acceptable condition. Details such as the timing of the checks, the exact size or location of the tear, and any alternative arrangements offered are not specified in the available reports. The case is presented as an example of travel document scrutiny by budget airlines at check-in or boarding. Ryanair’s official rules or any response from the airline are not included in the provided text.
