    1st, when I travel up from Cork, after they have checked the Priority boarding people through, then it's the OTHER Q turn.

    Most times everyone ends up standing on the stairwell, Priority and all the rest of the passengers. Now if it was me who had booked priority I'd be pissed off as when they allow you to cross the runway to the plane whats to stop someone running ahead and getting Priority without having paid for it? I havent heard anyone complain either.


    2nd, this may seem stupid but my nephew is travelling down to Cork (having got the passport issue sorted) he is 17 and is travelling as an adult.

    Now, if he is travelling as a adult, does he have any of the same rights as an adult? Like purchasing alcohol etc?

    im not trying to be smart just wondering!!

    Thanks.

    :)

    Anyone who buys into priority boarding needs their head examined.

    It is illegal to sell alcohol to a minor!

    They dont try to get around this by saying that they are booked as an adult just to make a sale? Do they check passport for age verification?

    The onus is on Ryanair to ID your nephew if he was to attempt to purchase alcohol.

    For internal or UK flights, personally I wouldn't bother, but for an airport like Nice I would as they only use one door on the plane thanks to the use of a jetway, and if it's hot/sunny you'd bake while waiting to board.

    we don't book priority but usually end up near the top of the Other Q. Once the Other Q people are let loose, my excited kids usually make a break for it and dash to the steps passing out the priority paid customers who amble along thinging they are actually priority. I used to try haul them back out of fairness but then decided to let them go. Its a bit of a joke paying priority.
