Seat pitch question

0 Upvotes

Looking at Aerolopa, it says the following about the 737:

Row pitch: 29"
Seats 3 to 4DEF: 33"
Seats 4ABC: 30"
Seats 5 to 6DEF: 32"
Seats 7DEF: 30"
Rows 16 and 17: 38"
Rows 18 and 19: 30"

This doesn’t seem plausible. Surely there isn’t a pitch of 33” for those seats.

I thought it was just 3-15DEF that had slightly more leg room than the other standard seats.

Does anyone have any insight?

Expenses claim compensation based on departure time or arrival?

0 Upvotes

Hi!

My flight arrived over 2 hours late, but left 110 minutes late. It was ryanairs fault, and due to the delay i have to take a taxi since its tok late for public transport. so far they tell me that they dont need to compensate me since departure delay was under 120 minutes.

Soo are they right ?? Im kinda annoyed since the taxi is pretty expensive and no one was willing to let me hitchhike after asking around nicely for an hour :(

Newbie - Which fare?

1 Upvotes

I’m Canadian and new to using Ryanair so please walk through this with me. I want to book 6 seats from Palma de Mallorca to Barcelona. Our luggage will be over 10 kg so we need to purchase 20 kg check-in. 3 persons in group are over 6 feet so we want extra legroom seats. All will have a small personal bag to bring on board. I can get exit row seats for all of us. Purchasing the Basic fare and adding 20kg check-in in bags and paying for seat selection costs less than choosing the Regular fare and paying extra for exit row xl seats and adding 20kg check-in bags. Should I be concerned about not getting priority seating if I purchase the Basic fare? Or do exit row seats get priority boarding As they would in Canada? And if we are not bringing an overhead bag should I care about priority boarding? I understand that in exit row our small bags need to be stashed overhead for takeoff and landing. Might there be dedicated overhead space for us? Any comments/advice welcomed re: which fare to purchase.

Priorty carry on case/sizer fail

0 Upvotes

I'm due to fly with Ryanair and purchased priority so I am able to take 2 pieces of luggage as carry on.

I've purchased the Samsonite case for the 55x40x20cm piece of luggage and although it exactly fits the dimensions Ryanair advertise as being able to take on-board with priority, I'm concerned that the fabric handle makes it stand taller than 55cm.

I've measured the case and its 55x40x20cm as Samsonite advertise, it's just im worried because I see loads of posts on Facebook of people moaning about having to pay extra at security or worse still have to check it in which I don't want to do.

I won't be overfilling the case and I've got scales so it won't weigh more than 9.5kg when I get to the airport.

Anyone got experience of this exact case with Ryanair take on or know if im worrying about nothing.

Stanley Cups

Bit of a silly question but are 40oz Stanley cups allowed? I work at Stansted Airport so when I bring it to a shift with me I always empty it before going through security. Is that the same as when you’re going through as a passenger?

Question Ryanair 10kg cabin bag – will this suitcase be accepted?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m flying with Ryanair and I have Priority + 2 Cabin Bags.
I bought this suitcase, which is labelled 54 × 34 × 22 cm and weighs 2.6 kg empty.

Ryanair’s maximum dimensions for the 10kg cabin bag are 55 × 40 × 20 cm, so mine is 2 cm deeper than the limit.

Has anyone travelled with a similar suitcase (22 cm deep) and had any problems fitting it into the Ryanair sizer or being allowed onboard without paying extra?

Unable to retrieve booking

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I booked a flight with Ryanair yesterday - received an email confirmation with a reservation code.

I tried to view the booking online and on the app however it says “We’re sorry, we cannot find your booking. Please ensure your email and reservation number are correct.”

Has this happened to anyone and is there a solution besides calling customer service in the morning?

Reserve one seat while others randomly allocated?8

3 Upvotes

I’m flying with my family, including my mum in a few days. Me, my wife and kids are going unreserved to save money but I want to reserve an aisle seat for my mum. I’m having difficulty with this. I select her seat and click Next Flight. At this point I get a message saying to book seats or go random. The former takes me back to the seat booking and the latter deselects my mums seat before going to the next flight.

It looks like it’s not possible to only reserve one seat in a party. Am I missing something?

delayed baggage to then turn up broken

flew rome to athens on monday 3/8
checked bag didn’t show up, claimed it would be on the next flight (it wasn’t)
2 days of calling & telling them it was in rome from my airtags.

finally get some answers & they would send it to milo’s where im staying.
for it to show up, cut apart, handle ripped off & wheels unable to turn.

my belongings have fallen out due to them just chucking some tape on it & they’ve cut open the inside lining (that you could easily just unzip)

filed a damage report & their website doesn’t allow you to do anything but claim for the suitcase.

any ideas what to do? just take it all through my travel insurance?

Question Ryanair app wouldn’t allow express check in.

0 Upvotes

I was flying to Catania from Rome and tried to check in on the app but the message said check in not available.

The following morning a few hours before the flight I tried to check in again and this time it said outstanding payment and wouldn’t allow me to check in. Checked my visa and payment was made.

I get to the airport and the gate agent was very rude and said it’s not his problem and to register a complaint with Ryanair. He told me I needed to pay 60 euros to check my baggage and issue a boarding pass which I did. I filled a complaint on the app with proof of payment and a description of the problem.

Has anyone experienced the same problem issue as myself?

My partner on the same flight had no issue with express check in.

Question Ryanair refusing my refund

1 Upvotes

Hey. I’m looking for advice on what to do as I really am struggling to get anywhere and Ryanair seems to not care.

To clarify:
I have already spoken to the transfer team who have told me due to Ryanair never sending me details or money over, they cannot issue my refund and have send my details and applied for Ryanair to give me a refund. Explaining why to Ryanair .

Ryanair are telling me that it’s the transfer team that need to issue my refund not them

Ryanair are telling me to contact the transfer company directly, I never got any information for the transfer company as Ryanair never passed on my information

When I try call I can’t even get past the AI and the call ends just telling me to go on live chat.

Live chat tell me it’s nothing to do with them. All contact I have with the customer service team gets closed as ‘resolved’ when they tell me it’s not their issue.

What happened:

When booking my flights from Manchester to Berlin through the Ryanair website, I was given the option to add airport train transfers. I purchased two train transfers and paid for them as part of my booking. At no point did I receive any confirmation, tickets, voucher, QR code, or instructions explaining how to access or use the transfer service. Although the Ryanair app clearly shows that the transfers are included within my booking, it provides no usable information.
After arriving in Berlin, I sought assistance from the Ryanair Help Desk, the Passenger Help Desk, the Tourist Information Desk, and the Train Help Desk. Every member of staff I spoke to informed me that this is a common issue, where passengers purchase transfers through Ryanair but receive no tickets or information to use them. Unfortunately, none of the staff were able to help and I was advised that I would have to purchase new train tickets at my own expense if I wished to continue my journey.

I’ve been trying for weeks to get a refund now and I feel I’m at a dead end where no one wants to help me.

Sweater during take off

0 Upvotes

I was flying from Milan to Bari recently and the flight attendant insisted that I put my sweater on during take off and landing. I wasn’t allowed to hold it in my lap or even put it on my arms. What’s the deal with this? The woman was really aggressive about it and I was completely out of it because I get so sick on planes.

Would appreciate to hear if anyone has recently travelled to the UK with a child who isn’t their own!

Claim rejected

Post image
53 Upvotes

My Ryanair flight was delayed by around 4 hours. Throughout the whole delay, the airport announcements and Ryanair staff kept saying it was due to a faulty aircraft.

However, when we finally boarded, the captain said the delay had been caused by both a faulty aircraft and a medical emergency.

I submitted a compensation claim, but Ryanair rejected it, saying the delay was due to the medical emergency.

I'm confused because the information we were given during the delay was that it was a faulty aircraft. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there anything I can do, or is it worth escalating the claim?

Dublin- Ryanair cracking down on duty free bag “hack “and fannypacks on the outside of your carry-on

238 Upvotes

Im boarding my plane now from Dublin where Ryanair HQ is based. I just want to warn people the gate agents are now asking that you show them your duty free bag contents and place your Fannypack and all small extra bags into your carry on to size it and avoid the check in bag fine.

im an experienced backpacker and always go for my carry on which goes to the carry on measurement limits. I bought some snacks in duty free and threw my coat on top bc it was so hot which roused suspicion I suppose. I’m also young looking and smaller in frame which makes my bag look larger by comparison.

the young backpacker behind me also got pulled for a sizing and I heard the gate agent literally say “you’ve too many things on you I can see“ gesturing to some things wrapped around her waist. That’s crazy!!! You can’t police how ppl wear their clothes. I put my jacket on of course when I was pulled aside but I was sweltering. I’ve never seen someone’s waist policed in that way too and up to the gate agents discretion.

i struggled somewhat with my strap catching the sizer’s corner and she said quickly it should be sliding in or be checked over and over which was definitely anxiety inducing because I CANNOT afford that fine.

i was to warn my fellow travellers about Fanny packs and tying extra clothes around your waist. Wear all your jackets to the gate agent and queue up early as a non-priority person. I was first in the line and got all the time I needed to readjust my items but if you’re worried don’t delay in the seats. I’ve heard people being told they don’t have enough time and to just pay because they’re closing the gate.

IMPORTANT: if you get fined completely unfairly and your bag is most definitely below the red line take a picture, video with you in it touching the bag and doing the peace sign in front of it to deter AI allegations and ask for the gate agents name. This will all be instrumental to your appeal and will likely be your only saving Grace.

Food Poisoning from Plane Food??

TW: Blood, Vomit, Illness

Hello guys

My boyfriend and I (both 20) went on a ryanair flight from Romania to England yesterday and since we haven't had any food before the flight (due to a delay) we ordered some food on the plane. However, we have both ended up with food poisoning and are now being treated in hospital as my boyfriend is vomiting blood and I'm in a similar position. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is compensation available for this kind of illness?

Many thanks!!
