So I’ve looked at flights and unfortunately ryanair is the only airline that does the flights at a reasonable time on the days I need/want to travel on.
I get to starting the process past just looking at prices and discover that I have to pay minimum £8 to select a seat so I can check in 60 days before the flight. Otherwise, I can only check in 24h before the flight. I don’t typically travel short-haul flights so I’m not very good with budget airlines and how they work, hence why I’m here.
My question is: Will I be able to get on the flight if I don’t pay the £16 (since it’s 2 flights) to check in early? I know airlines overbook their flights and so I fear I’ll get to checking in 24h before the flight but everyone who’s paid to select seats will have taken all the seats and I’ll not have a seat at all.
Your ticket entitles you to a seat, even if you don’t pick it yourself. You’ll just likely get stuck with a less desirable seat like a middle seat.
Thank you! It’s only a 2h flight so I don’t mind
Yeah this is usually a ploy directed at people who travel in a group and want to sit together. For a solo traveler it makes no difference.
It’ll just be me, myself, and I so… yay lol
