Ryanair is expanding its reserved seating product, and is increasing the amount of reserved seats bookable on a Ryanair flight.
On their Boeing 737-800 fleet, seats in the following rows are avaible for booking from 1st November:
- Row 1
- Row 2
- Row 5
- Row 15
- Row 16
- Row 17
Rows 5 and 15 are the new additions.
The cost for reserving seats in these rows is £10/€10 on short legs, or on longer legs (and all flights to the Canary Islands), £15/€15. For that princely sum, priority boarding is included too.
It seems that offering this service is generating some revenue to Ryanair, and for those passenger who want to get out of the plane first or enjoy extra legroom – and want to pay for it, this isn’t such a bad deal compared to some prebookable seats out there (both on legacy and low cost carriers)
