A tourist claims she was stopped from checking in for her flight with budget airline Ryanair - because the ink on her boarding pass was illegible.

Sue Craig, 54, and a friend paid an extra £10 for an online boarding pass for a flight to Malaga, which she printed on her home computer.

But when the school teacher arrived at Bournemouth Airport an hour and a half before her flight to Spain, Ryanair staff said the barcode on her pass had failed to scan.
