A mum was forced to fork out over £800 to fly to Amsterdam with her blind daughter after her guide dog was refused on board a KLM flight.

Amy MacDonald, 24, who is registered blind, was travelling from Glasgow to the Netherlands capital to compete in the Dutch Open for Adapted Judo on Wednesday. She had intended to fly with her guide dog Sally but was told by the airline the Labrador cross could not board.

Her mum Fiona MacPherson was forced to pay £600 for new flights and forked out £250 on kennels for Sally so she could accompany Amy, who also has autism.
