Ah yes, the good old days.
And who remembers the concept of Apex tickets and a requirement to stay a Saturday night. Then there was the standby option where you packed up and went to the airport without a ticket and hoped you’d get a last minute deal.
And people think it’s complicated now?

And if you changed your flight it was a little sticker was put on it with the new time.And who remembers the concept of Apex tickets and a requirement to stay a Saturday night.

That’s probably the most annoying feature of all for people who pay to make the other painful elements go away.The practice of Ryanair allowing people to go through the check in gate and then having them to queue on a staircase with the door at the bottom closed should be stopped. You are basically left in a potentially dangerous situation. You then have to walk to the plane and queue at the bottom of the steps until the staff are ready to let you board.
How exactly is that situation "potentially dangerous"? Or any more so than waiting in any other part of the airport? Also, I doubt that this practice is unique to Ryanair. I'm pretty sure that I've experienced it with many other airlines in many different airports.The practice of Ryanair allowing people to go through the check in gate and then having them to queue on a staircase with the door at the bottom closed should be stopped.

Those type of tickets were so expensive ordinary people couldn't fly.Any jobs going
It's mostly possible everywhere if you board last. Which is what we do. Depending on which airport sometimes there is not enough space for everybody to be in the stairwell/airbridge.As a regular user of Cork Airport, I solve this irritant by looking out of the window at the plane and waiting until the herd is released from the corral and allowed to start moving towards the plane; only then do I stroll through the boarding gate. The plane won't leave without me and my seat is reserved. But perhaps this isn't possible in Dublin?
Well I’ve seen older people becoming faint or desperately needing the toilet, especially in, say, Faro or Malaga.How exactly is that situation "potentially dangerous"?
