Having quite the week.
Despite presenting a medical letter to Ryanair staff, the grandmother {Bridie O’Donnell], 70, above], who suffers from a range of health problems, was told the oxygen constituted a second piece of carry-on baggage.
…Defending the move, the airline said O’Donnell had failed to inform the airline of her “special requirement.”

The three planes had been diverted to Valencia because of thunderstorms over Madrid. However they were circling above Valencia for about an hour, due to heavy air traffic.

Following the above incidents, Ryanair is ordered to review its fuelling policy. The Irish Aviation Authority accepts all three planes left for the Spanish capital “with fuel in excess of Flight plan requirements” and also with fuel “in excess of the minimum diversion fuel’ required, so remained strictly within the rules.
But it notea: “Diverting with fuel close to the minimum diversion fuel in the circumstances presented on the evening in question was likely to present challenges for the crew.”
