Similar story about guy that confronted the train stabber couple of weeks back who then couldnt attend the Nottm Forrest European game due to his injuries and Ryanair refused his refund and BA stepped in to offer all expenses paid trip for the next game instead.

"Ryanair are fine when there are no issues. Non-existant customer care, which is how they save the money."

Likewise EasyJet.

I once priced flights to London for Wimbledon in January before the July tournament and found Ryanair more expensive than British airways business class due to the bag add ons. It is lack of clarity and confusion by their policies that make it difficult to fly with them. Agree on the Knock flights as it is a short journey and nobody but Ryanair will fly. However would still only fly them as a very last resort. I am surprised they are no angling for charter USA flights for Scotland supporters.

So, checking in for my flights today, Ryanair asks for my date of birth. This month`s calendar pops up. No function for entering it directly so I was obliged to hit the back button hunners of times to get all the way back to 19 canteen. And again for Mrs Riva, who`s slightly younger. 🙄

Oh and if we want to sit together, it`s only £20. Why don`t they just charge more for the fare instead of all this sneaky stuff?

If you click top left (I think) it lets you go back by year. Not intuitive at all and a terrible calendar feature.

Cheers, Jake. Will try that for the return flight as I`m not able to check in until the day before flying unless I buy my seats. As a matter of principle, I`m no daen it!

You cheeky bassa, Tractor Boy! 😀

As it happened the seat beside was empty and she couldn`t wait to fill it. It`s hard to be humble when you`re as braw as I am. 😁

Check 1 person in on random seat allocation then "seat select" check-in for person 2 selecting the next seat. £10 saved .)

Very cunning, PuP. Why didn`t I think of that? 🤔

I managed to save the other tenner, too, by working out that the seat next to mine (and that next to my wife`s) were not taken and I was right, so get it right up you, Ryanair. 😜

It proves beyond all doubt that its policy is to try and squeeze additional money from its passengers. Just put it on the basic fare and seat passengers who book as a group together. If it`s good enough for the likes of easyJet and Jet2......

‘Just put it on the basic fare and seat passengers who book as a group together.’

So the other passengers should pay more so tight gits can sit where they want for free? That hardly seems fair. I’m with O’Leary on this one.

I don`t follow your logic at all, Tad. I could argue that passengers travelling alone get a cheaper fare as it doesn`t really matter where they sit. Jet2 charge a bit more for their fares but they include carry on suitcases which is pretty decent. Neither Jet2 nor easyJet have ever seated us apart and we`ve never paid extra.

O`Leary will be pleased to learn he has at least one fan. 😀

Sorry, another post as I cannot stand the airline and they push the boundaries of guidance terminology from the CAA deliberately to their own profits. See below.

The CAA emphasises that splitting family groups can hinder emergency evacuations, so seating procedures should avoid placing family members “remotely from each other”

Good point. All the more reason to pay the (bargain) £20 then.

More flawed logic. Put an extra £10 on the basic fare and let folk choose their seats for free makes far more sense to me
Deliberately seating families apart when there are plenty of seats available to allow them to sit together is mean, underhand and indefensible, but don`t let that deter you, Michael. 🙄
