If you pay for a seat allocation within the 48 hour check-in window, do you still get priority and 2 cabin bags? Just, obviously, priority is pointless if everyone on the plane gets it, and there's no point sitting at the front if you can't get in the overhead bin. At the minute, if there's no more Priority, bin space will be plentiful.

They also cap the number of Priority places sold to 90, which can be most passengers on the aircraft sometimes.
i can't remember the last time i got one. usually their revenue management is all too successful ! |

you're very lucky if you manage to get a half empty Ryanair plane !

Not now, no. It's an underseat sized bag only. 40x20x25. Your 10kg hold bag costs extra.

Thank you for your reply. I've now bought priority boarding that includes a 10kg bag. I've also bought 20kg extra luggage. I have two more questions then that's it, I promise! Can the 10kg bag be put into the hold with the 20kg bag and if so, will there be a cost for doing so.
Basically, interpret everything as written, don't apply any logic (e.g. "it's all going on the same plane anyway") and it will be fine with Ryanair. |
Ryanair is usually cheaper (I compare it on routes to Alicante and to Krakow), but I think EasyJet is better quality. And you are still allowed to take normal size hand luggage when you fly with EasyJet.

Question, I made a group booking for 5 passengers. I need to add cabin bags for just one of them (ie the Priority and 2 cabin bag option), however when I try to add this it only allows me to add it for everyone on the booking and not select just one person. How do I get round this? the other 4 passengers have no need to add anything more than the small carry on bag allowed free. Thanks.

Wheely fees
Previously I’d noticed that at airports where agency staff operated the departure gates, they were much less likely to demand payment for passengers with wheelies in the Non Piority queue. I'm currently at Luton airport (Swissport staff) - and they are going through the non priority queue and sending those with wheelys to make a payment ! they still don’t seem to worry too much about the size of non wheeled cabin bags - as long as passengers aren’t being completely crazy. |
Unsuitable for exit row

Guessing that all the overwings are adults, and also guessing that if they turn out to be unsuitable for those seats they'll be swapped with someone else?
i know it must be really difficult for cabin crew to tell a passenger that they need to move from an exit row - but does FR ever actually do it ? |
How bad are security lines at STN on a weekday around 19:00?
If the gate closes at 19:05 and I travel by train/bus from Cambridge to arrive at the airport around 18:15, am I stretching it, or would I be OK? Should I buy priority access for the security screening to be on a safe side? |

Should I buy priority access for the security screening to be on a safe side? There's nearly always a queue at Stansted, but it generally moves quite quickly. I haven't waited more than 15 minutes to reach the front of the queue without priority, since the security area was reconfigured about five years ago. After security, it's a 10 to 15 minute journey to the gate (either by foot to gates 40-59, 81-88 or 90-93, or transit to gates 1-39). I'm not sure if priority actually saves that much time at STN. |

East Midlands non connecting flights
I’m a USA citizen arriving Saturday at EMA at 12:30 pm from Spain. I’m flying to Poland from EMA same day at 18:10. These are 2 separate tickets. I will have a checked bag. 3 questions: 1) Do I have to go through immigration and customs at EMA and then come back through security after dropping my bag at check in landside? 2) Will I be able to drop my bag off at EMA straight away or is it possible I’ll be too early for bag drop? 3) If I get through immigration quickly, I’d love to catch the second half of the Tottenham match. Is there any place landside, airside, or near the airport to watch? |
@cockpitvisit My experience of security at STN is not good - I've never got through in less than 20 minutes - and the staff there seem to relish in yelling at passengers and being deliberately unhelpful. I would not be comfortable with the timetable you are proposing. |
