Overview

• Rebecca McCurry, 22, says she realised within minutes of landing in Marrakesh that her passport was on her seat but was not allowed to reboard.
• She reports 11 hours in detention with questioning by border police, episodes of passing out from stress, and removal on a flight to Manchester the same day.
• Ryanair states the passenger misplaced her passport, was correctly refused entry by Marrakesh authorities, and was reaccommodated on the next available flight to the UK.
• Accounts differ on the aircraft search, as McCurry says friends on the return leg found the passport where she left it while Ryanair says crew located it and handed it to airport lost property.
• McCurry says she spent more than a month trying to recover the document and paid £30 to collect it, and Moroccan authorities were not quoted in the coverage.
