FR - cancellations and booking on later flights
I have somewhere I really need to be but time will be very tight. I will have to fly FR from STN as getting to other airports and catching something suitably scheduled won't work. Never flown with them before.
There are two FR flights three hours apart I could get and obviously I have got a ticket for the first of those. If I buy another ticket for the second one just in case will I risk anything, such as getting offloaded from both due to a presumed double booking or something? If there first one was cancelled or severely delayed how easy would it be to get onto the second if it was full - would they bump someone if I paid enough?

Re the first querstion - having tickets for two consecutive flights - that's no problem at all.
Re the second question - Ryanair are generally very reliable and pretty punctual. But no, there isn't any mechanism for getting on a full flight and getting someone else bumped off it by paying some sort of fee!
