I recently booked a flight to Majorca for 2024 with Ryanair.
I normally pay extra to sit in a row toward the front of the plane.
During the booking process I noticed that the additional cost for my chosen seats was €9 on top of what I was already paying. After I chose my outward seats I got a pop up box asking me would I like the same seats on the return journey. I have never noticed getting this pop up box before and I have already flown with them 8 times this year. Is this a new thing?
I just clicked "yes".
When booking with Ryanair I always keep a running tot of flights, priority, seats etc.
I noticed that the Ryanair tot did not agree with my tot. I couldn't figure where the difference was until I noticed that I was being charged a different price for my exact same seats on the return leg. A higher price than the outward journey. I hadn't noticed this because I thought it easier just to click "yes" on the pop up box.
I have noticed on all my flights that the "extras" are never the same. I have paid up to €18 to sit in a certain seat but I have also paid as little as €5 to sit in the same seat. Now it appears it can be different for the outward journey and the return journey, and if you click "yes" on the new pop up box you don't notice this.
Also the "priority with two bags" charge seems to vary all the time.
I am often drawn in by the lower ticket price but I wonder if the "extras" are then higher on the lower ticket prices?
