Ryanair has apologized after a staff member told a passenger that “Scotland is not a country.” An Edinburgh family flying with Polish passports but with full Scottish residency were attempting to travel from Lisbon to Edinburgh when Ryanair staff took issue with their testing paperwork. A Ryanair staff member argued that Scotland is not a country and claimed the family was not following the correct COVID rules.

I’ll just call it a province/state rather than an actual country, I found it confusing when it is actually called a country

It technically is a constituent country of the UK but not a nation in its own right (i.e. not a UN member state.)

Ah, so their pilots aren’t the only ones making hard landings in that company.
