This has never happened to me before,and was just wondering if anyone knew the reasons for it.An announcement was made by the flightdeck,but it was inaudible.
A combination of poor organisation on Ryanair's behalf and no communication from Ryanair to Servisair. You were boarded onto the wrong aircraft as Ryanair failed to notify of the aircraft swap, once it was realised that the wrong aircraft had the Dublin passengers, bags and crew on it was already taxiing out. As you said, you were then brought in and taken off one aircraft and put onto the correct one. In the mean time 130 Nantes passengers were being held watching it all happen, in the end they were kept up at Gate 5 (Designed for no more than 80 passengers) for nearly an hour.

An extremely set up which was thought highly comical from airport staffs point of view, of course not in the passengers mind though! These silly little errors seem to happen a hell of a lot considering its a small base with only two aircraft!

One Nantes passenger summed it up perfectly "Well thats Ryanair for you". Couldn't have put it better myself!
