    Hello

    Apologies for silly question, its first time we flying with Ryanair without luggage.
    Flight is from Dublin to Gatwick.
    We've done online checkin, printed our boarding passes and have no luggage (only cabin bags).
    Can we go straght to the gates without visit to check-in desks?

    Thanks

    Yep. Just allow time for the security queues, which can appear out of nowhere!

    Thanks for prompt reply. I presume the same is the case for checkin in Gatwick?

    Yes - once you have your return boarding pass printed (NOT two outbound ones, easy to do :eek:) and in your paw, then just straight through security with you, and down to the gate :D

    Thanks, that’s great!
    May be you can also explain Priority Boarding and reserved seats. Ryanair site reads “The Priority Boarding service allows passengers to be part of the first group to board the aircraft and choose any seat on board, except for those seats designated as Reserved Seating in rows 1, 2, 5, 15,16,17, 32 & 33”

    I bought Priority Boarding, does this mean I can take any vacant seat except above rows?

    Can't answer for the individual seat numbers you listed (I'm assuming they're emergency exit seats which I think can be booked in advance for (another) fee) but when they announce boarding there are two queues - the ones in the priority boarding queue get to go on first - once they're all on, they start the ordinary queue.

    This is most of the time - if things are running late I've seen it descend into an all-out scrum.

    Personally, unless you're travelling with kids or something, I don't get the point of priority boarding - no-one's going anywhere until everyone is on the plane! - but each to their own.

    Enjoy your trip!

    Keep your boarding pass when getting off the plane at Gatwick.

    They check them there.

    It's not so much that they check them, it's that you go through the non-immigration queue. Looking at the length of that queue, you're out of the airport anything up to two hours sooner. Without proof (the boarding card is that proof) that you've come from Ireland (or Channel Islands, or another part of the UK) you have to do formal immigration.
