ryanair children and priority boarding

cloontaghmore

I have read a few posts about children travelling with ryanair and, indeed other airlines which use open seating policies. If you are travelling with young children or dependant adults you do not need to pay for priority boarding. You simply access the aircraft with all other passengers and if you cannot find seating arrangements together inform the air crew. They are obliged to ensure that all passengers are safe on the aircraft and it clearly would not be safe for young children to be seated seperately from their parents or carers. The crew will have to move passengers to accomodate you.

The priority of any aircrew is safety. so stuff the priority booking.

I was recently on a flight from gatwick to dublin with four young children and along with several other families we found ourselves at the back of the queue when the gate was called (it takes people with small children much longer to walk the distances than all the other passengers). There was a period of chaotic seat changing while all the families were catered for but nobody should have to pay extra to sit safely on an aircraft.

Prediction: Michael "Rip-off" O'Leary has announced to day that people with kids attempting to board ryanair flights will now have to pay a special "safe seating" fee. "It's all part of Ryanairs commitment to our passengers" chuckled the multi-multi-multi millionaire...

I am surprised he doesn't charge a children and special needs passengers first boarding fee.

whilst most airlines simply anounce for passangers that may reqiure assitance such as those with young children or elderly to approach the desk first, MOL will also do this, but charges for the priviledge

:rolleyes:
