I wish Ryanair wouldn't say "randomly allocated seat". They are NOT randomly allocated, rather they are allocated in a logical sequence.
random (adj.): made, done, or happening without method or conscious decision. |

I'm trying to understand if "Ryanair would split groups on purpose", just to convince us to pay for an allocated seat on our next flight. Is there anybody here that:
- travelled (with Ryanair in the last month) in a small (2-6 persons) group, all on the same reservation - didn't pay for allocated seats and - got separate seats? Is so, how long before departure did you check-in? I'm asking this because I suspect they try to put people (travelling on the same reservation) together, if possible (if they don't check-in in the last minute). |

Anyone know to which it would be best to report Ryanair? Or maybe highlight this to Aer Lingus and let them make the complaint :-) (Ryanair recently made a successful complaint against Aer Lingus I seem to recall) |

The new system doesn't like Firefox too much (it was not letting me check in for only one leg), but seems to work OK with Internet Explorer.

Even with average persons (that know they have an allocated seat and know which one it is), the allocated seat boarding method is very slow. Why? Because every person that tries to take his seat, blocks the aisle for at least a few seconds to even a minute. Now, if the persons waiting in queue don't have an allocated seat, they might take the seat that is right next to them, so they will NOT block the queue once again. But with the allocated seating, everybody will block the queue when they arrive to their precise seat, so for a much longer time (in total) than with random seating.
So, unless Ryanair will find a solution to fasten the boarding process, they will continue to face delays on their flights. And I suspect they will not renounce on the "the on-time airline" slogan so easy! |

How about making you pay a fee if you don't take your seat in less than 10 seconds?
