Improvements at Ryanair

Thanks guys, don't want to use then aboard the flight, just want them for the car at the other end!

So I'll be fine bringing them on as part of my hand luggage?

Car seats yes, as they have an incorporated seatbelt. Booster seat, as the question asked, no, as there's no seatbelt and the ac belt is used to hold the booster in place.

No, incorrect, a booster seat is not held in place by a belt, the child sits on it and the lap belt is put around both the seat and child, so yes they are allowed and are being used on the a/c a good few years now.

Billie1b. Are you sure the website says what you say? Just had a quick look myself and booster/car seats are listed under checked baggage, not cabin baggage. I read it as if it's allowed as hold baggage only.

For cullenswood though, it will be taken free of charge but they may put it in the hold and for you to collect afterwards.

Just saw in the guardian website that they are to get family friendly with bottle warmers, changing tables and a bag allowance for kids.

They shot a video and saved money by using employees kids in it:)

Will try and link later.

Yes, you can use car seats on board

Ryanair didn't need to improve. But now they are. Which means only one thing...Ryanair will even further take over the world of aviation, and all the haters will one day have no other option. Every airline will somehow be a Ryanair affiliate..can't wait :pac:

Car seat yes, booster seat no.

From http://www.ryanair.com/ie/questions/what-is-ryanairs-policy-on-the-carriage-of-infants/

"You can bring a car seat onboard for use by an infant or child as long as it is approved for aircraft use and has a 5 point harness.".

Note the harness wording. A booster seat with the airplane seatbelt being the only restraint is not approved and would be dangerous for a child as the mass of the seat would potentially injure the child in the event of a rapid stop.

Also add our decompression emergency decent to that list.

Booster seats are a no no car seats are permitted.

Have to admit, they were brilliant with my little brother on our flight home today. He's a nervous flyer at the best of times, but they were grand with him.

Also - thanks to reading this forum I could explain what was going to happen at each stage of flight. Thanks, lads!

Hi folks.

Looking for some advice. According to the website, Ryanair will allow
“One fully collapsible pushchair/double pushchair/travel system/baby sling per child plus one of the following items: car seat or booster seat or travelcot can be carried free of charge.”

I will be travelling with three children (9,7,5) and want to bring three booster seats for the car but NOT the plane.
The rules don't say the boosters need to be for the plane.

How is this handled at the airport?
Do we check them in (for free) or bring them to the plane?
The children will each have the allowed carry-on baggage so the boosters are extra.

Many thanks.

The booster seats you want to bring on board may be considered part of your carry on allowance ! After all they will take up space inside the aircraft ! So if the Kids just have small bags and the booster seats it may be ok but if you are expecting to bring 3 booster seats and 3 full size cabin bags then you may need to reconsider !

It's clearly working.

Load factor for July was 95%
Annual traffic to July showed a 15% increase to 95.3 million customers
http://corporate.ryanair.com/news/news/150805-july-traffic-grows-11-to-10-1m-customers/

18MonthsaSlave · 05-08-2015 01:28PM

has any airline ever got close to those load factors.

Easyjet to name one

18MonthsaSlave · 05-08-2015 01:31PM

to answer my own question wizzair are at 92.7% but only with 2 million passengers. Easyjet are "only" at just over 90%.

Spotted some updated images of the new interior. Pockets in the top of the seatbacks and no safety sticker. Massive improvement.

Balls, now I have to start worrying about leaving my phone behind again

Jhcx · 14-09-2015 08:44PM

Michael must be loosing his marbles. Is all this change new uniforms, interiors, policies not going to have a big affect on profit somehow?. Like everything looks premium the uniform alone looks like its a massive step up.

Oh wow! I think Ryanair have estimated how much of a difference the interior will make to regular customers.

AlekSmart · 15-09-2015 02:04AM

No sign of a coat-hook on those seatbacks.....something the Aer Lingus seats do have,and which can be most useful to those who travel light.

marwelie · 15-09-2015 02:08AM

Explain to me why disabled passengers arent automatically checked in by Ryanair when they request assistence at the time they are booking, cant avail of priority seating and have to sit in the same seat in the same row every time they travel. also explain to me why they wont entertain my online check in query in the chatroom and instead request that i ring them up instead......

Depending on the disability they should be able to check in themselves. you know someone would argue against Ryanair for singling them out for having a disability not allowing them to checkin themselves. Again depending on the disability its better for the crew to have disabled pax nearer to the front or rear of the aircraft for Health & Safety being closer to an exit but not an emergency exit no point in having them in the middle of the a/c which could put them in risk should they require someone to assist them off the aircraft in an emergency.

its all about the moola. ring that Lo-call 1890 number they gonna get a little bit more off you so you pay them for accepting the call as well as paying your provider to allow the call. :pac:

fr336 · 15-09-2015 05:03AM

God that cabin is such an improvement

Senecio · 15-09-2015 07:23AM

Just hope the seat backs are still fixed.
