Just been to Dublin using Ryanair. About 2 months ago they sneakily introduced a system where if you didn't pay for designated seats they deliberately split you up. I was sitting in row 6 and my wife was row 29 yet when I looked at the available seating 3/4 of the seats were available. Always booked as soon as online check in was available and always ended up with adjacent seats with my wife. Apparently there was a report on this a few weeks ago on Watchdog and a Ryanair air representative made a feeble attempt saying they hadn't changed their policy

One reason why I avoid Ryanair unless they are significantly cheaper

Clearly they have changed their process to split people up forcing you to pay to sit near someone. Stil if the starting price is low enough you just need to factor this in. What if you both book separately?
At least they are being honest of their aim to be the airline of last resort.

And you didn't switch seats? Lol
When ever I fly and it's half empty I just go somewhere where there is free row and chill on two seats

It would have cost you about £8 to reserve your seats. It can't have come as a shock, when you check in it tells you the seats you have been allocated. Then even gives you an option to pay and sit together.
I'm glad they do this. If they had seat allocation for 'free' it would only increase the base fare

It doesn't cost Ryanair any more money to sit you together. Their policy of deliberately separating people is just a shameless money making exercise.

No it doesn't but by charging for it they can make more profit from extras such as seating, therefore allowing them to keep the base fare low. No one is forcing people to fly with them

If you think that it affects the ticket price, youre an idiot. Tho you say youre glad that they split ppl up, so youre probably just an idiot regardless.

So if they suddenly sit everyone together or allow you to pick your seat for free how are they going to make the same profits without increasing base fares?
I am glad that they have this policy I fly to Ireland at least once a month and can get a return ticket for £20. I don't care where I sit so would much rather the current policy than have my base fare increase and get one for 'free'
Again no one is forcing you to fly Ryanair, when you check in they clearly tell you exactly which seat you are in and then give you the choice to pay for the one you want.
This allows those who want to pay an opportunity to get the 'better' seats.

Just be aware Christmas markets start around 24th nov definitely the case for Nuremberg as I went last year and just missed it by a day. Good prices, also agree that book your seats in advance or you will be split up.

I'd make sure you book refundable accomodation.
I booked flights with Ryanair in November 17 for my wife and I to go for a long weekend in Ukraine from Manchester. A few months after booking I got an email saying they were cancelling the flight and I could get a refund or rebook onto a different flight. Annoyingly I had booked accomodation through airbnb and because they were strict I only got a 50% refund.
So I decided a weekend in Teneriffe would be nice so rebooked to that, again from Manchester in November. 2 weeks later - flight cancelled.
I then asked to booked onto a Liverpool - Teneriffe flight in October. Week later - email - flight cancelled.
I since asked for a refund and booked a return flight with wizz air. Still waiting for the refund from Ryanair!

Pretty sure they charge if you book in advance for seat choice .online free check-in if like easy jet is a not available to near departure time. Yes Ryanair maybe cheap but why do they insist on being total ar$%ho+$.Is it really necessary or just that idiot Michael Leary .Surely you would want a good reputation for service not just price .
