I am guilty of queuing quickly as well. It's because occasionally the last few passengers have no space in the overhead bins and have to check them in there and there (free of course) but I don't want to risk my stuff with the baggage handlers. So I prefer to be on the same side and ensure there's space in the overhead cabin for my luggage
All in all, boarding with Ryanair isn't a pleasant experience at all. But for the prices one pays, I really don't think anyone should complain. Alitalia was about 350€ for the same return MAN-FCO flight. Ryanair was 90€!
The infamous yellow seats. Not reclineable.
OMG. What a hoot. Great TR iczs. Thanks for taking one for the team. I do love those yellow seats and the advertising on the overhead bins.
But this is as close I want to ever get to Ryanair.
