View Full Version : Jumpseat request for Ryanair
Dear Sir/Madam
I will be flying on FR414 on the 18thNov to PIK from STN and would love to have the opportunity to ride in the jumpseat for this flight.
I am flying back on the 401 on the same day, if that is any help!
If anything, what are the chances of being able to visit the FD on this short flight?
Regards

AJ,
Chances are very high as long as you prepare a short note (possibly slightly longer than the one above) detailing your love for flying, ambitions etc. Remember to mention, or even include any licenses you have.
Hand it to the No.1 on boarding. As long as you follow all the usual common sense rules, I doubt you'll have any problems at all. Allowing keen wannabes to ride on the jump seat is one thing that Ryanair ARE good at.
Why didn't you fly Go!!! :)

If any of the other Ryan boys are looking, big thanks to Cpt. Peter Gallagher who gave me jumpseat on FR112 DUB -LGW last Tuesday morning. A great experience as always, and a chance to thank all the skippers that have given me jumpseat any time I request it. TPuk, if youre STN crew, please pass on my regards to Simon Offord for me also, he'll remember me from the Ash Bash! LDY - STN.

AJ,
If you don't mind disclosing the info - I'd be interested to hear how much the day return fare is. Also, how far in advance did you book?
Cheers.

Last time I flew FR STN-PIK, the ticket was 50p - yes, you read it right, 50p each way by booking through www.ryanair.com (http://www.ryanair.com)
Airport taxes and duties added £18 to that, though! :) :) :)

AJ,
No problems!
Flew back from Malmo on thursday with Ryanair
flight 255 at 21:45 local, I passed on a request to the flightdeck via the cabin crew while boarding the aircraft and was granted my jumpseat request almost immediately.
These guys are really cool.
If anyone of the crew is reading this page, I
just wanna say thankyou to the whole crew and I had a fab time.
P.S. Nice landing David!
Guvnor-you lucky person-50p!!!
My fare is 4.50 each way+15pounds taxes.
Along the same lines, it's cheaper for me to FLY home from Uni Easyjet-5pounds LTN-LPL including taxes.
Thanks for all your feedback.
ps; flight was booked on thursday for next saturday.
