Replying to @SimonCalder
@SimonCalder I was denied boarding on Ryanair yesterday despite my passport being within 10 years at point of entry to Spain (issue date 14 May 2012) and expiry being beyond 3 months (expiry 14 Feb 2023).

I have booked an alternative flight with Jet2 tomorrow who I understand are interpreting the rules more in line with these conditions being independent.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction to make a denied boarding claim with Ryanair?

I am not sure what to expect yet, but I will update here to let folks know the outcome. I may have 1 denied boarding claim or 2 after tomorrow !
