Ryanair passengers pay for water on delayed Barcelona to Manchester flight

Passengers on a Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Manchester were reportedly stuck for over two hours in more than 40C heat. Teacher Rachel, a mother of two, claimed travellers had to pay £3.50 for water bottles, despite the plane being delayed by thunderstorms. Passengers were given 4-euro vouchers but shops in the terminal were closed.
