Paid a quick visit to my Algarve friend when I discovered last week flights were only €34 each way, no bags, no seats, no priority.
Booked on Monday morning (1am) for Monday evening flight, return yesterday evening,
Bag policy working exceptionally well, in Dublin young lady requested to see boarding pass and then put label on your cabin bag. I even offered the bag first but she said she had to see boarding pass first. This was in the seating area, but she attended the queue first. Result: loads of overhead space for bags for anyone with priority and two bags.
Faro: the checkin staff (who on this occasion were actually RY staff) were tagging the bags. Immediately in front of me were a couple and he had ‘strapped’ his ‘small’ bag to his cabin bag with the result it was meeting 2 of the measurements - but way too tall for the third measurement. She informed him to separate the bags and she would tag the cabin bag. He wasn’t having it, so she went with him to the end of the line and got him to put it into the framey thing. Course it was way too tall,so he ended up splitting the bags after all. Not only that she informed him it was overweight but I don’t know what happened there as she let me go in front of him. I did overhear an argument later (everybody did) when a passenger said he ‘never’ had to pay for extra weight previously and he wasn’t going to now either. I think he lost that one though, as one of the staff accompanied him to some desk to pay.
Seats: I got an aisle going out, only booked 15 hours before flight and I could see the window seat was empty, and that’s how it ended up, the person in the middle seat moved over once the doors were closed, coming home I got a middle seat, but as I had only small bag didn’t bother boarding until near the end. When I got to row 11 the middle and inside seat were occupied, and the lady asked me if I minded taking the aisle seat. Happy days.
Ryanair actually managed the feat of putting husband and wife in 11A and 11C.
Some people would pay good money for that! They should advertise it more

They have some balls to say they're "Always Getting Better". I'd love to know how they justify that reducing the free check-in period from 7 days to 4 days to 2 days and creating an algorithm that deliberately separates those who do not pay to sit together is getting better.
Very happy to have booked AL to Italy in July at for just over €50 a head for our outbound - around half the price Ryanair were at the time of booking and without having to play Ryanair Roulette or pay extra. It'll be nice to stroll up to Check in and get our 3 seats together.0 -

I agree with most of your post, however, there won’t necessarily be 3 seats left together at that stage. The pleasure is knowing you can stroll up to the desk and you won’t be charged.
checkin on line either by mobile or Internet cafe in the 30 hour window ( you don’t have to print out boarding passes, they will be issued at the check in desk but you will have booked your seats)0 -

It's funny now, every flight i've taken since the new policy ends up with everyone wanting to get on last so they can just get into two empty seats next to each other when they get on.0 -

LOL. anyone familiar with trying to avoid the middle seats doesn’t check in until at least 24 hours before the flight anyway. A good way to test what’s still available is to try and book the same flight, going as far as purchasing a seat. That way you have a fair idea how middle seats are still available. Shouldn’t be many with less than 24 hours to go.
Oh, and book your return separate (for the same reason)
Exactly what I do - have had good seats together for all my flights since the new policy. Most people in middle seats nearby will move to accommodate you when they're offered an aisle or a window seat.
It's just that they've narrowed the 'window' to play the game ...
