At times like these we need heroes and,as far as I'm concerned the staff at this airline are all heroes<BR><BR>Well done Ryanair - wish you flew here in the US

My hero! (swoon)

Only an American would try to travel internationally without a passport and then complain that security was too tight and wouldn't let them board a flight! Nuff said!

Hi<BR><BR>I fly Ryanair regularly.<BR><BR>Before accepting the internet booking, customers must key the "I accept the terms above" button.<BR><BR>I quote from a booking I made in March 2002 :<BR><BR>* It is the passengers personal responsibilty to ensure they have valid documentation ............ for immigration ...... other Govt bodies.............. Ryanair recommends you carry your valid passport ........... .<BR><BR>* All passengers must present valid photo identification ............ the only accepted ........ all international journeys require a valid passport .............. Failure to present such valid proof ............... will result in you being refused check in.<BR><BR><BR>This is repeated as the first line of the confirmation Email.<BR><BR>Checking another booking made August 2002, the content remains the same, but with more detail on Schengen identity cards.<BR><BR>Discrimination against US military ???????????<BR><BR>Peter<BR>

Andre,<BR><BR>It does not matter whether it was Swedish airport security or Ryanair. What matters is that Ryanair has not (yet) become a target for terrorists. Meanwhile, the US airlines have. I have witnessed somne horrific security lapses since 9/11 onboard US airlines departing US airports. In fact now I am reluctant to fly to the US and am very reluctant to use US airlines. FYI - I climbed onto a flight from Newark to Paris last year just after 9/11 without tickets or baording passes. Continental did not know or spot me until I went and told them half way across the Atlantic. They actually had two extyra people onboard and did not know or realise or care! Whenever I try and start a thread about this Fodors erase it but I am keen for the world to know that Continental is tempting fate and a disaster is just around the corner for them.
