Ryanair confirms ban for holidaymakers flying to popular Spain destinations

Ryanair customers have been warned to be mindful of a ban in place if they are flying to a number of popular Spanish resorts this summer.

The budget airline is confirming the rules for anyone flying from the UK to Ibiza, Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife South, as reported by Bristol Live.

In emails to passengers with bookings, Ryanair has said: "In order to prioritise the comfort and safety of all passengers, Ryanair will implement the following restrictions on your upcoming flight to Spain:

"Customers will not be allowed to carry alcohol on board and all cabin baggage will be searched at the boarding gates.

"Any alcohol purchased in airport shops or elsewhere must be packed carefully in a suitable item of cabin baggage, which will be tagged at the gate and then placed in the aircraft hold free of charge if you have purchased priority boarding or have a small piece of hand luggage."

Anyone found concealing alcohol and bringing it on board risks being removed from the flight, without refund or compensation.

Similar rules to ensure safe alcohol consumption are in place at a number of Spanish resorts. Anyone with an all-inclusive booking in areas such as Magaluf, El Arenal, Playa de Palma in Mallorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, will only be allowed six alcoholic drinks each day.
