I’ve got another complaint which has been lodged directly with Ryanair.

I checked in to find that my seats in 2A&B no longer come with priority boarding included, as was the case when those seats were booked and paid for some months ago. So now we face the prospect of having to wait at the baggage reclaim for carry on’s therefore defeating the precise reason for paying that extra £58 (return) for those seats in the first place ie. speedy exit from both the aircraft and the airport.

Ryanair are now back on my “only if absolutely no other alternative is available” list.

Are you suggesting there was a detrimental change to the contract conditions without you being aware? Does that allow you to make a claim on those grounds?

Reported on Reuters that RYanair are looking to buy certain assets from Niki.
Slots certainly spring to mind, but nothing else?

It seems that way and is theme of my complaint. I await their response with very limited hope that they even give a toss.

No seats up front included priority boarding. Only what they call 'quick/rapid' Exit upon disembarking. I think a while ago Emergency Exit row seats in 16 & 17 had priority boarding. I think this was dropped in favour for the new Plus bundles they have which give you free standard seat selection and priority boarding as well as hold baggage. Where the Flexi package gives you premium seat selection and ticket flexibility as well as fast track.

From the Ryanair web site - with the Standard fare package, seat selection, priority boarding including 2 bags, and FastTrack (through security at the airport) are all separate extras. Paying extra for one does not get you another - in the Standard fare package.

Happy to show you many boarding passes from this summer which will clearly show that I got priority boarding with paid for seats in the first 5 rows of the aircraft.

Agreed, that’s what the website says now. That is not in line with the service I paid in October to receive (based on previous experinces) though. On principle, that’s what I’m a bit annoyed about.

Anyway, I’ve complained, they will tell me they don’t care (in some form of words) and I’ll not book with them for another 10 years (as happened until 2017) unless they are the only way to get in reasonable time to somewhere I need to be. I’m also under no illusions they won’t care if I never fly with them again because they’ll just fill that seat with someone else willing to tolerate their sh**e for a cheap fare. Chapter closed. Time to move on

No big news. Main points:
- Negotiations ongoing with unions in France.
- Planning to open French bases in the future.

Ryanair also picked the wrong day for a press conference in France. Any transport journalist would be busy reporting on the Notre-Dame-des-Landes developments.

I’m not sure. There are several MAN routes to be announced so could be in that group, or as the aircraft is Belfast based, could be announced at the Belfast end at any time.
