We all
already know about Ryanair: it is Europe’s leading low cost airline and it
offers extremely cheap tickets to travel around the European
cities, for this reason it has become quickly famous and
nowadays it is the most successful low-cost airline in Europe. On the other side it is also
famous for its extra fees, in fact they charge for everything imaginable, but,
if you pay attention while buying the ticket then it won't be a hard nut to chew, you can easily avoid all
these expenses and fly really cheap. Until now the seats were assigned free of
charge by the company during the check in online procedures when it is done five days before departure; you
could get priority boarding only upon payment! It has never been a big
issue since groups and couples could sit closer during their flight time
because Ryanair took care on letting them flying together without additional
fees when the check in is done together. This has changed now!!! Ryanair wants
to increase its revenue! What happening now is groups and couples are having separated
seats.
While checking in for our flight to Brussels we realized that the randomly allocated seats they have given us were over 27 rows apart: one in the 5th row and the other one in the 32nd row! It was not fair Mr. Ryanair, especially considering there was plenty of empty seats still available, and in fact after boarding we noticed that seats at either side of us were both available! A lady sitting close to me was travelling with her family, husband and two daughters, all of them had seats located in different parts of the air craft. This doesn't want to be a complaint because I have flown with them more than ten times and never had a single problem, I'll for sure fly with them also in the future a million times! It is just to give an additional information to the travelers, specially to the group tourists that they cannot fly chatting with each other any more. This way of flying could be a possibility to meet new people...

ReplyDeleteinformative post.. well written
ReplyDeleteWell written and informative post
ReplyDeleteWell articulated piece loved reading through.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this information. I really don't like the idea of sitting far away from my loved ones either. Would be quite boring for me.
ReplyDeleteI love and hate Ryanair. I fly them often because they are usually the cheapest. I you observe the rules, it really isn't so bad. I always fly with my husband and so far, we have always had seats together. If that changes, I don't care. Sometimes it's nice to have a break from each other. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery informative post. thanks!
ReplyDeleteTimely post for me. May need to use them in the fall. Haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteRyan Air are the absolute worst. Just a side note, I struggled reading your post (bad eyesight) a few line breaks would be useful :) (with love and affection) and I hope your next flying experience is much better!
ReplyDeleteThx for your advice. In fact I'm blogging to improve my English! I really have appreciated!
DeleteOh dear - I'd hate to sit on my own on a plane. I'm not a great passenger.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up
Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye on this the next time we fly with Ryanair! Never had an issue before...
