Op, you're lucky they even let you on the plane in the first place, they were well within their rights to refuse on the grounds of safety.

I think it's time to change your holiday destinations, the day will come when you're refused boarding, with no comebacks.

I'm not sure that pointing out that there was a way the OP could have got a prescription is all that helpful after the event. But I do agree with others that popping pills to manage flight stress is a not a great idea. Anyway, we are all adults and make our own choices.

On compensation, you should get - assuming the delay was caused by a technical fault - 600 euros each. And if you bought the holiday as a package, I believe you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the missing day (but that is separate from the flight delay regulations compensation).

If they refused admittance to all nervous flyers taking a tranquilliser, planes would be taking off half empty!

There's a difference between taking meds to fly and

I took my meds, the plane took off, I managed not to have a complete panic attack and all was as well as I can just about stand.

If there was an emergency on take off, or for quite a length of time aftewards, someone in that state would be a danger to the lives of others. Tranquillisers aren't the answer. They just mask the problem.
