For those of you who choose to use Ryanair (be it through choice or otherwise), some interesting news regarding seating has been released.
Currently, you can reserve seats in row 1, 2, 5, 15, 16 and 17.
Well, Ryanair are extending reserved seating with 2 extra rows at the back of the plane – Rows 32 and 33.
This makes a total of 45 seats reservable on a Ryanair flight.
For those of you who are scratching your heads wondering why two rows at the back of the bus are now “premium” rows, Ryanair in most scenarios prefer to avoid using air-bridges connecting the plane to the terminal, and prefers to use stairway boarding, thus turning these seats in the back of the plane into a money spinner.
Speaking of costs, to reserve a seat, it’ll cost you€10/£10 each way (€15/€15 on longer routes e.g. to/from Canary Islands, bootable at time of booking and at check in. The fee includes priority boarding.
For those of you who use Ryanair, it could be useful for those of you who need to make a quick dash for the terminal once you’ve landed.
