I've now flown 5 flights in the last few months, most recently two on July 5th, and I - as an adult accompanying my 11-year old - had to choose a seat with him, but the cost to me was €0.00. Both seats were €0.00. Clear? Have you flown with an under-12?
Now if I wanted to pay for my wife and teenage daughter to sit with us the best I could do was €13 each per flight = €52 for the two flights. There were no seats available for less than €13 at the time I checked in. There may have been had I chosen to buy seats earlier, which I refuse to do. In the end we were separated by 10 or more rows both flighs, but in the first flight the wife and daughter were in rows 10 and 11 and in the second one it gave us 3 seats together (1 with the adult and 11-year old).
I have, and in my fare there was "additional adult seat €4" on the bottom of my fare, which is immediately added before selecting the seats.
Just go make a dummy booking there, and I'm sure you'll understand what I'm saying.
My last flight was last month.
Right, I'll go check again in a minute, and if I'm wrong, I'll retract my statement, however I certainly had to pay for an adult seat on my last flight.
No need to be an arse about it Gaoth, not like you ever get things wrong either

I think with Ryanair it depends where you chose to sit on the plane ...if you sit at the front, you pay for a seat when with a child...back rows, no charge... that's the way it was around Easter time when I flew anyways.... so technically, ye could both be right 0

Not being an arse, but when someone comes out and says you're plain wrong about something that you've only done a few days ago then I have a right to reply.0 -

I do remember that there were several rows allocated to these free adult with child seats (I think tows 22-28). I would have had to pay had I wanted to sit out of these rows.0 -

Just checked this myself and yep the auto adult seat cost is added now, it deffo wasn't when I booked ours last month, base fares were 14.99 each way and they stayed the same
I must have been lucky so for a change lol0 -

Some people are pricks, that's all. A reasonable person would ask and if refused finished the discussion.
You're missing the point, people shouldn't have to put up with other people hassling them to give up a seat they've specifically selected and paid for because someone else chose not to regardless of whether the person requesting the swap is a 'prick' or not.
It doesn't bother me, I've never paid extra to choose a seat as I don't care where I sit but people shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable about having to decline a request to swap.
This is a deliberate Ryanair policy, they should be made to deal with the problems that arise out of it. Charge people for a seat, allocate a random seat, I don't really care but put a warning to customers that they won't be allowed switch seats after boarding and that should be the end of it.
It was good to hear MOL back to his old ways on the radio yesterday, this new touchy-feely Ryanair was really creeping me out.
I take it Kenny Jacobs must be away on his holidays...? 0 -
