"When I was abroad a relative of mine fell ill on board a ryan air flight back to the u.k , she passed out for reasons because of her being a very bad diabetic. The crew rushed her a sandwich and a drink. When she took them she felt a bit better , but a doctor on-board insisted the crew to land because she was going in and out of consciousness and could have fallen into a coma. The following week she received a letter at her home, including a bill, a "medical fee" of some sort... and wait for it .. payment for the sandwich and drink ! " This story among others about payment was also posted on British newspapers including the times, the independent , the sun and the daily mail.

I was on this flight and want to congratulate the crew for handling the situation well. As I was watching the unusual events unfolding I was full of admiration for the air-hostesses who were handling the situation well!

I wonder if Ryanair will charge the passenger for falling ill and they had to pay extra fees in Ciampino plus delays etc
