General review
The airport itself was ok. One member of staff, a foreign lady, was very cheeky and rude. She attempted to close the flight gate, even though her colleague was in the middle of helping us board. There was an issue with my daughter’s passport, so the girl helping us wanted to check we were ok to proceed. We had already been cleared through security, when the rude Ryanair woman at the flight was determined to stop us from boarding. On that basis, I will not be flying with Ryanair in the future.
