"no no for people over 1.85 meters"

(Greece)

Trip Verified | This airline is a no no for people over 1.85 meters in Height. I am something taller than that and I had trouble fitting my knees straight. They do inform you with seat space but it is a marketing trick that they don't say you can't fit if you are above a certain height. 3/10 just cause it's super cheap

"recline of seat very uncomfortable"

(Germany)

Not Verified | This was my first flight with Ryanair from Düsseldorf-Weeze to Pisa. Since I am not a really tall person and normally thin, the seat width and legroom was okay for me. I've expected worse. But the recline of the seat was very uncomfortable. It's not enjoyable sitting in there for two hours. The aisle space was nothing special and acceptable. TV-Screens, seat pockets and seat power supply are non-existent. In the end I wouldn't recommend this airline. You get what you pay for but I'd rather pay a bit more for a healthy back.

"uncomfortable with no recline"

(Israel)

Trip Verified | Ryanair's randomly allocated seating policy is such a mess. Any other airline allows you to sit with your family if there is room. Ryanair forces you to sit separately unless you pay an additional 10-18 euro per person per direction. All this does is creates chaos when everyone tries to swap their seats around during boarding. I sat in row 33 while my husband sat in row 9. Upon disembarking most families, ourselves included couldn't easily find each other and this in turn caused more confusion in the passport line. The seats themselves are typical of a low budget airline, thin and uncomfortable with no recline.

"con you out of money to sit together"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I’ve just checked in with Ryanair for the two of us and have selected their “Free” random seating, I have been given a seat in row 10 and my partner a seat in row 22! When I then try to go and change the seats the seats either side of us on each row are free and we can sit next to each other for a fee. Why could the random seating not seat us together when there are all these two seats together which are free? Oh, it’s because Ryanair want to con you out of more money to sit together! Not even your your children are safe from this con as you have to pay to sit next to them. No other airline has stooped as low as Ryanair! Also if you decide to sit next to a loved one the cost of the seat is considerably higher than if you sit say 2-3 rows behind, so they even increase the seat fee to sit right next to them, Ryanair you have no morels! I would suggest that you definitely do not pay the fee con and instead on boarding the aircraft during boarding stand in the aisles and ask other passengers with the same problem as there are many to try and swap with you, as there will be lots of you doing this it will slow down the boarding and cause issues for Ryanair but why should you care? It is Ryanair that has changed their seating process and caused you more stress so this is how we now have to sort it out!

"purposely allocate seats apart"

(Spain)

Verified Review | We flew from Leeds to Alicante. I checked in on line 3 minutes after it opened. I did not wish to pre purchase seats as we had just paid £69.99 for each seat.They allocated 15E for me & 28E for my wife. When I was seated there was the window seat next to me & the window seat on the opposite row both vacant. I have emailed Ryan air 3 times now suggesting that their policy has changed & they purposely allocate seats apart so you will pay the extra money. They have replied but not answered the seat allocation problem. We fly to the Uk about every 6 weeks but no more with this airline.

"most uncomfortable flying experience"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | Absolutely terrible. I'm 6'4" and even on an aisle seat, I couldn't fit my knees behind the seat in front. The seats don't recline at all either, the cushions are rock hard and the upholstery is so slippery that you slip down all the time. By far in a way the most uncomfortable flying experience I've ever had. Will never use them again.

"you are deliberately separated"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | The worst airline I have ever flown with. What kind of customer service is it when you are deliberately separated from the person you are travelling with. My partner and I recently travelled from Manchester to Krakow and desite checking in at the earliest possible time on the outbound flight I was right at the back sandwiched between two random people and my partner was right at the front. On our return flight despite an empty seat next to me I was at the front and my partner at the back. This is supposed to be random there is nothing random about it, this is deliberate. I am only 5 foot 2 inches in height and as you can imagine trying to get my luggage into the hold is difficult for me I rely on my partner to help me. Of course no cabin staff was available to ask and had to embarrassingly ask another passenger for assistance. Apart from that no other complaints but why cant Ryanair just be nice to their customers not only that by splitting people up causes disruption boarding and unboarding the plane and as a result on our outward flight we missed our flight slot for take off due to passengers taking longer to board.

"squashed and uncomfortable"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | I hadn't flown Ryanair for a good number of years and had forgotten how dire the experience was. The seats are so squashed and uncomfortable you can barely move and because you can't recline the seat or have any leg room to stretch out you can't even look out of the windows in a window seat! I got back ache on holiday because of the uncomfortable flight. Then there's that horrible yellow interior, just dreadful. I'm in my 40s now and realise that a bit of comfort when travelling is worth paying for.

"no luggage space over this row"

(Poland)

I took two flights with Ryanair in a week, first from Warsaw to Tenerife and then from Tenerife to Linz, and I was assigned to the seat 33A on both flights. The seat is the very last one in the corner. The legroom does not differ significantly from the others on any Ryanair aircraft. Nor do any seats recline at all. The main problem, I suppose, is that there are no luggage space over this row (33) on their aircraft. Besides, it sometimes happens that the smell from the toilets come to the cabin. For example, it did happen on the second flight to Linz.
