Travel influencer Joleen Weiss was banned from boarding a Ryanair flight after insulting a gate agent at an airport in Porto, Portugal. Weiss, from Boston, filmed the incident for an online audience of over 2.1 million viewers. She claimed that she was stopped in her tracks by a company employee for filming and demanded to delete the video. She also claimed that a separate Ryanair rep forced her to pay $75 for her unchecked bag and was then barred from boarding the flight after she was forced to pay the fee. This incident resulted in Weiss being placed on the no-fly list. Despite her plight, social media spectators widely supported the airline.
