Agreed. One of the only things I can do well is pack extremely lightly.

I once went to Poland for a weekend and I took one of those mini Kankens, like 7 litres or something. Probably my greatest ever achievement.

Like with the last time we did this, I simply cannot get vexed by these examples of passenger behaviour.

Similarly if I’m told I’ve got to put my bag in the hold. Yeah fine lob it in there if you need, who cares.

You do get an assigned seat on Ryanair now.

can’t believe you wear the same pants all weekend

disgusting

I liked this for how dis it is

Usually at the other end of the plane from the rest of your group.

That’s deliberate, isn’t it?

Means that you pay to reassign your seat.

@japes he wears four pairs of pants over his head for the duration of the flight.

It’s dickhead behaviour is what it is.

The body posture of someone pulling a wheelie case is identical to someone just walking with no luggage. So when you cut behind someone, you trip over their case.

I was thinking how long before they do away with cabin crew. Can’t believe Ryanair didn’t try to pull that stunt (loop-de-loop) already

I believe it’s for safety, otherwise they’d have had vending machines in there ages ago probably.

I saw this very thing happen in Birmingham city centre the other day :smiley:

If anything, air travel is too safe

So they are now starting to charge you for the privilege of bringing an official Ryanair suitcase on their flights?

a lot of ryanair stuff just is what it is, the prices are mega cheap so to get something slightly better than shite you’ve got to pay more.
the seat allocation is properly a piss take though - does it actually cost them anything to let 3 people checking in at the same time sit by each other? it’s like they’re deliberately making the journey shitter to try to force you to cough up more money. which then means people are musical chairs when they get on and people are arguing and it’s a rubbish start to a rubbish trip.

The “proper” airlines like BA still let you book transferring flights as a single journey. Some people like that.

I have sympathy with some people who get shafted by this (families with young children, elderly relatives etc) but I can never quite understand the amount of wailing that goes about this when you’re on the plane. Sure, all things being equal I’d probably rather travel next to the person/people I’m with, but I’m not gonna cry about the fact I have to spend an hour and a half to Marseilles or whatever on my own. Just listen to some tunes, read the paper, have a nap, whatever. Baffles me how often you see a family with adult children kicking off about it.

Tbh, I often secretly quite welcome not being sat with the person I’m travelling with, especially if it’s on the return journey when I’m fed up of them.
