‘Adulting is hard’: Ryanair trolls passenger for complaining about check-in rules

An unsuspecting Ryanair passenger received a “sassy” comeback from the budget airline after criticising its check-in rules on Twitter.

In October, the airline tweeted that James Corden was “banned” from its flights.

It followed the actor and presenter coming under fire for allegedly shouting at serving staff in New York restaurant Balthazar, with Keith McNally, owner of the famed Manhattan eatery, saying he had chosen to “86” Corden as a result (an American term that means to refuse to serve a customer).

Following the edict, Ryanair, Europe’s biggest low-cost airline, issued its own ban with a tongue-in-cheek social media post.

The carrier tweeted, “James Corden BANNED from Ryanair”, along with a picture of the Late Late Show host on a plane with a red “no…
