But dont they allocate a seat number when you check in?What’s becoming more of an issue (and getting more publicity) is eejits not paying for seats and then hassling people to move so they can sit with their family/friends/etc.

Yes this is true. And yes you need to be careful that you click each extra separately. And yes seats on an outward can be a different price to an inward, same with bags. As I can't fly without luggage, and do not wish to be put on row 5 middle seat with my husband in row 29 window I pay for seats.I am often drawn in by the lower ticket price but I wonder if the "extras" are then higher on the lower ticket prices?
What they're referring to is a growing phenomenon worldwide with low cost airlines charging premiums for pre-check-in seat allocation.But dont they allocate a seat number when you check in?
Hassling after that point should not happen if the seat number is on the boarding card

I see no reason to be discourteous; I travel alone & generally have no problem swapping if asked.the people who agree to swap seats with them

BTW, its not only "low cost" airlines. Do you consider KLM/Air France low cost ?........passengers >12yrs can be allocated seating anywhere on a plane even if booked with same ticket/booking codes.What they're referring to is a growing phenomenon worldwide with low cost airlines charging premiums for pre-check-in seat allocation.
Two people or a family travelling together don't pay for assigned seating, at check-in they are allocated seats in different parts of the plane. Then, once on the plane one of them goes to where their companion is sitting and starts asking people sitting beside them to move to their allocated seat.
Absolutely not. If you board last, quite often you will find that you cannot get a space for your hand held luggage overhead. I have seen people having to put their cases overhead, quite a distance from where they are sitting. Doesn't bother some.Alas, my seat is always there, and theres always room for my bag. People queue because they see other people queing, and they panic that they are somehow missing out on something.
All the fun went out of flying a long, long time ago (thanks ryanair)
Fair enough they're not as cheap as others, but if they're charging for seat allocation then they've made the decision to adopt the low cost model.BTW, its not only "low cost" airlines. Do you consider KLM/Air France low cost ?.
Most Ryanair extras have variable charges:Also the "priority with two bags" charge seems to vary all the time.
Impossible to tell without doing more sampling or asking Ryanair.I am often drawn in by the lower ticket price but I wonder if the "extras" are then higher on the lower ticket prices?
I don’t see your point. If someone can’t afford to pay for a seat, fine, but don’t come asking people who have paid if they’d like to move.nice of you to have the money to burn Gordon
