A dad has hit out at an airline after his daughter was told she didn't have the right paperwork to board a flight - despite facing no issues when travelling two days earlier.

Peter said: "When my daughter travelled from Belfast to Manchester on Friday, she checked in online and went through the City Airport on her own. She was not asked for any additional paperwork before boarding the flight to Manchester.
