Still can book as adults.............. if not sitting together then it is at your risk.
Free to take your chances at checkin. So should Ryanair hold standard seats just in case someone makes a late booking for a family ?
No, the answer from the chat team is children they must be booked as a child or could be denied boarding. This is also suggestion in paragraph 6.2 of the T&Cs.
If so you can board.
Unless you being difficult or obnoxious there is no reason for them to deny boarding, if being difficult then it would be for other reasons.
Doubtful most gate crew would know or care of that section.
Have never heard of a single case of someone being denied boarding because they had booked an adult fare for a child.
Bearing in mind how long I have been on here and time spent on FR thread it would have come up.
Especially when Ryanair were in media every week plus the number of long departed posters who confused Fact and Fiction would have jumped at it.
No, but if someone is forced into a supposedly free seat reservation (for the child), available seats should be given at the same conditions if standard ones are not available.
Email them or write to the customer care team, may not be a huge issue but they may require you to split so if 2 seats avail in Standard you have 2 there and 2 in non standard.
It may not be a huge issue for them to do just a software update.

great idea to promote it that way!
MyRyanair
Can someone please explain to me the main benefit to consumers of having a MyRyanair account ? I understand that Dublin wants to force everyone to sign up before they can buy a FR flight, but as far as I can tell the only benefits of a MyRyanair account are
1 - It makes it harder for screenscrapers and other 3rd parties to sell flights without FR's consent
2 - It makes it easier for FR to send targetted marketing blurb and other advertising to customers
Comments ?

Data collection and market research are also big ones, see what destinations people go to, etc. Prevent third parties selling flights (Personally I'd never purchase from a third party unless they're bonded)
Annoying for the consumer, but great for Ryanair.

More brexcuses and plays into the 'blame the English' rhetoric to completely deflect from the point that if they did shut PIK it would be because they can make more money at GLA. Nothing more, nothing less. Easier to blame someone else.
Funny how easyJet are growing 9% next year, half of which is in the UK.

I don't need to fill in any of my details or those of my partner anymore during booking or check-in. Neither my credit card details, nor my passport details.
Are people actually that OK with uploading their credit card details and passport numbers to an online server belonging to a very public company? Ryanair would be an attractive target for Cyber criminals.
With a supposed 200million pax count in a couple of years, that's what, 40 million individual passenger profiles? (Assuming repeat travellers)
I think it's mad to be storing all that kind of info on a server you know nothing about. Remember TKMaxx a few years ago? Their Irish arm was breached and all credit card details etc obtained. Tesco bank was breached just a few weeks ago and peoples current accounts frozen while Tesco worked out what happened. Ashley Madison this year, to name just a few.
This is absolutely for Ryanair's benefit only. Expect no assistance from them if and when they're breached.

Fair enough, so.
I'm one of those people that'll never fly on them so I guess I'm biased when it comes to O'Leary and what Ryanair do.
The idea of having to set up an account with them just to fly with them would definitely put me off flying with them if I wasn't already put off!
It's nothing more than a mass data cultivation project for their own benefit sold as an enhancement of the overall experience for the passenger.
Also, choosing to not store your passport and CC details kind of negates the potential booking/time efficiency of your account.
Anyway, the joys of being able to have a choice!

@ racedo:-
Damn right. If I can convince some potential passengers currently in two minds about setting up an account not to, I'll be happy. Of those that choose to open one, how many give a second thought to their online security? Drawing attention to the possibilities of their details being stolen is a legitimate point.
Also, you're not implying this thread is some private love-in for Ryanairphiles??

Ryanair offer the use of PayPal as well where no card details are held. I think your own personal dislike of Ryanair (nothing wrong with that if that's how you feel) has clouded your judgement on this occasion.

Ryanair Italia
What's wrong with Ryanair & Italy?
Where are those 44 new routes?
http://www.digitallook.com/news/news-and-announcements/ryanair-to-invest-1bn-in-44-new-routes-after-italy-reverses-tax-hike--1670964.html
And for example what about all routes that FR proposed from Pescara?
http://m.ilcentro.gelocal.it/regione/2016/08/05/news/ryanair-propone-sette-nuove-rotte-dall-abruzzo-1.13921358
No news about that....

Millions of passengers around the world chose to store their data on airline websites (including those of BA/Aer Lingus) and know nothing about the servers they are stored on. Millions more people use the likes of Amazon, Netflix. All of these airlines and organisations use this "mass data cultivation" in the same way as you suggest Ryanair will do. Fair enough if you feel you can't do that yourself. I assume you don't do online banking either where any breach would be much more costly than the loss of one credit card.
Ryanair offer the use of PayPal as well where no card details are held. I think your own personal dislike of Ryanair (nothing wrong with that if that's how you feel) has clouded your judgement on this occasion.

Ryanair on the other hand, you might be told their server was breached sometime the following year.
You're right, I hate them. But I hate them as much as some people love them and their low fares. As I said, great to have a choice.
Without a doubt, some people will blindly upload all their details to these kinds of websites because they know no better. If some people have second thoughts after this, good.

I guess if RYR decide they are doing this - it marks the end of my relationship with them. As they say other airlines are available.

After reading your pathetic posts can you please enlighten us as to why YOU HATE RYANAIR
As a BA Executive Club member BA is my first choice but if the fare is cheap for a quick breakaway I have no hesitation in flying Ryanair who incidentally are a much better airline than they were five years ago and I can't understand your point as to not giving your details on their website as Ayroplain points out this is common practice for most online purchases so why the big deal I just don't understand it!
