Edinburgh Ryanair passenger fumes as woman leans over them to take video

An Edinburgh Ryanair passenger was left taken aback after the woman sitting next to her proceeded to lean over her the entire flight to film the window.

Danielle McLean had been heading out from Edinburgh Airport to Gdańsk in Poland on Tuesday, a bargain flight that had cost her just over £10.

Lucky enough to get a window seat, the 34-year-old had been settling into the journey when the woman sitting next to her in the middle seat began reaching over her with a phone in hand.

Not just attempting to get a video once, the woman had leaned over Danielle on multiple occasions, and failed to ask her once if she would mind.

Speaking to the Daily Record about the unusual behaviour, Danielle said despite being a frequent Ryanair flyer, she had never seen anything quite like it.

She said: "I just thought it was quite funny at first.

"The woman in the middle seat just starting leaning over me with her arm right across me taking videos out of the window.

"She just kept doing it during the flight. She didn’t even ask if I was okay with it.

"I know it can be quite annoying when you'd like a window seat and can't get one - but I was just so shocked that she kept leaning right over me.

"I don't know if she maybe didn't speak English so she didn't try to ask if it was ok.

"But she never said a word to me, she just kept leaning over me. I kept looking at her phone and then her."

Danielle regularly takes incredible day trips from Scotland to the likes of Amsterdam and Rome for as little as £12.99.

Her latest trip to Gdańsk cost her just £26 for the return trip - but despite the cheap airline ticket, she still didn't expect the rude attitude from the passenger sitting next to her.

Danielle said: "I was just in shock so I thought I'd take a picture and post it on social media.

"I was on my own anyway just sitting at the window seat so I didn't have anyone with me but I thought 'I have to take a photo'

"She kept leaning across for the first hour until it got dark. It was a cheap £10 flight but I never expected to experience that.

"I just thought it was so funny. My friend said I should have told her to stay in her own area, but I don't have the kind of confidence to say that. I just thought it was so strange."
