Ryanair Seating Restrictions

Donzers,

The blocking of the rows you mention is to do with the weight and balance of the aircraft. Depending on the number of checked in pax, the crew will block certain rows. It states on a Ryanair load sheet:
  • With 177 passengers or less do not seat passengers in forward rows 3 & 4
  • A) No passengers seated in forward 6 and aft 4 seat rows.
    B) Max of 132 passengers
If there are more rows blocked it will have been a decision made by the Flt crew for a certain trim of the aircraft.

Remember the standard loading is bags in Hold 2, you don’t want the aircraft to get too nose heavy.
