  1. Nothing makes you feel more Scottish than arguing with non-Scots over Scottish specific rules and customs. I imagine he had to atleast once explain to the currency exchange that Scottish notes are recognized as equal value in the UK.

    Overall, he has integrated very well.

  2. >Ryanair told the paper: “Ryanair does not tolerate any form of racial prejudice; all of our customers are treated equally.

    “We hate them all”, they added.

  3. You would think that people working at airline/airport would know current covid restrictions however there were also issues with Ryanair in Prague. Ryanair was requesting PCR test and denied boarding to vaccinated passangers even thought destination country did not require PCR test. In the end Ryanair apologized for it.

    I also had to argue with staff in airport. They wanted me to show them new covid arrival form for destination country, even though I was exempt from it. After few minutes and googling they let me board, however at the beginning they were very persuasive about it.

  4. >We sincerely apologise to these passengers, and our Lisbon Airport handling agents have agreed in this case to compensate Mr Dziedzic.”

    Why does this sound like the staff has to compensate him out of their own pockets?

    >However, it is reported that Mr Dziedzic was unaware of the apology when the paper contacted him.

    Lmao

  5. When the sentence starts with “Ryanair” you know you’re about read some fuckery that makes even SouthWest jealous

  6. I think the lesson here is that Ryanair have some morons working for them

    Asking who the Queen is? What does that prove? Tits

  7. They sound slightly confused. However the quote isn’t entirely wrong, by international standards Scotland isn’t a country, the UK is.

  8. To bring back balance to the force I will give you a Scottish airport story:

    I’ve been asked once by the staff in charge of scanning and checking luggage if the desiccant bag (tiny small bag, like 2cmx2cm) in the guitar bag was drug. The incredulous (it’s written on the bag what this is, the bag is sealed, it’s a fucking common product, he could just have opened to check it) Younger me with his approximative English answered something like “I don’t think so”.

    The stupid brute probably thought it was some challenge to his alpha dominance on the area and kept me like 30mn for no reason, ended up let me go so I can fucking catch my plane.

    They don’t hire the brightest in airports all around the world it seems.

  9. “Scotland is not a country and we should follow English rules”

    Oh man that made me uneasy and I’m not even Scottish.

  10. I mean, it’s not only the airport handling agents who think Scotland is not a country here in Portugal.

    Just the other day I had an exchange with a user on r/Portugal about this, he veemently opposed that Scotland was a country
