New First Class in Ryanair

within four weeks, they intend to charge an extra 15 euro if you wish to sit on any of the emergency exit rows (more leg room).


You heard it here first......

Any people in Ryanair Management wish to comment, and I thought you guys couldnt get any more greedy!!!

So what happens if you don't want to sit there and flight is full. Do they still charge you?

You get the toilet seat.... which I'm sure when they start charging for that, it will only be E1 plus tax

surprised they didn't do it earlier...

KLM does it on long haul flights too!

Flew NRN-VLC on RYR not long ago and had the pleasure to sit in an emergency-exit row. Plenty of room and worth the 15 euros when on a very early flight and want to sleep.

Virgin also do it and depending on the route it can be £50 extra (1 way) for an exit row seat.

15 euro if you wish to sit on any of the emergency exit rows (more leg room).
Is that on top of the 10 euro you pay for the flight?





:rolleyes:

Ryanair don't do seat allocation (?) so how will they be able to ensure you get your extra leg room seat you have paid for? How will it work if you do on line check in?

I'm doing STN-NYO in a few weeks (paxing, of course) and definately do not want a "normal" seat. I shall be mighty upset if I can't get an overwing or row 1.

How much per sheet of toilet paper?

I hear the charge will be introduced by next tuesday

take-off 26th Mar 2008 20:37

whats left to charge for ,??? toilets, seats, seat belts,steps to plane, oxygen?????? oh yeah toilet paper forgot that:ugh::ugh::ugh:

AdamC 27th Mar 2008 07:45

:ugh: Typical Ryanair.. I wouldn't be supprised if coin slots are installed to release the seatbelt. Then the tray table, ohhh the list is endless.

It's a good job I'm not actually old enough to sit in emergency exit rows, yet, why does one have to be 18 to occupy such a seat on Ryanair? - Yet I'm old enough to fly on my own, in a light aircraft and as such operate the door?

al446 27th Mar 2008 11:15

Jet2 charge for this as well. But I still think FR sucks.

Agaricus bisporus 27th Mar 2008 12:06

So how do they make sure everyone who pays this is an ABP??? Or don't they bother with niceties like that?

richatom 27th Mar 2008 12:14

I wish all airlines would do that! I'm tall and I would willingly pay a bit extra to be able to fit in the seats.

Flying long-haul in economy is pretty desperate for me and I would willingly pay extra for a bit of extra leg room.

The charter airlines and some scheduled carriers have been doing it for years. You want more comfort you pay for it. 15 euros is far less than I've seen other airlines charge for the 'privilege'.

beermaddavep 28th Mar 2008 01:06

take off-

Surprised none of the loco's have started charging for priority exiting.

"For only 15 euros more, you can be among the first to leave the plane. This will ensure a prime standing position around the baggage carousel or if you travel with hand baggage only will help you get to the front of the huge queue of taxis, thus saving milliseconds of your valuable time" :rolleyes:

But Ryanair, flew them once, never again, doesn't do seat allocation and insist upon strict 25 minute turnrounds or heads will roll.

So what happens if, having paid my EUR15, and having vacated the regional airfield bar at the last minute, I am the last to board and a family of 3 have occupied my exit row/seat and the flight is full?

Oh dear, we have to start playing musical 'non reclining' chairs and all this in a 25 minute turnround to be subsequently served with stale sandwiches and warm beer.

And all for a few Euro's per rotation, I wonder why I stick with 'recognised' carriers :)

For those who are interested here is the seatplan

http://www.eurocypria.com/main/data/articles/737.gif

Is the extra legroom in rows 15-16 really worth 15 EUR?

foxy_baby 29th Mar 2008 11:06

ADAM C, The Irish Airline Authority state you have to be 18 to sit in an emergancy exit seat.

I dont see what the fuss is about this, Bmibaby all ready do it as others mentioned on here, it makes good sense to me always thought Ryanair were missing a trick here, Im guessing that it will come with priorty boarding even better would be allocated seating but i doubt that

TotalBeginner 29th Mar 2008 13:26


even better would be allocated seating but i doubt that
I agree, but now they're selling all those priority boarding tickets, I don't think they'll be giving that little money spinner up!
