Well that would be a bummer.

Having spent 7 hours on a flight to Montreal squished against the cabin walls by a lady of huge proportions, I am all for it!!

They’ve got a cheek

Just be thankful they didn't turn the other cheek! It's not all it's cracked up to be!!

It onced happened to me on a Ryanair flight from FAO to LBA.
The woman who sat next to me (I had the middle seat) was enormous, and I mean enormous and the blubber hung over so much as did the BO.
As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off thankfully she stood and walked to the rear galley and spent most of the flight there until the seat belt light came on for landing.
The thing that got me is when she originally sat down she stared at me as if to say ‘move up a bit’ but I stood my ground. They should be made to buy 2 seats as its just no fair for the poor sod sat next to them.

With the state of the nations health and all these overweight people we may well need a 300metre runway extention! (Going to hide again)🤣 i do feel its a serious point though as it will add extra weight to the aircraft!

One of the few to survive the bankruptcy of Stobart as well! I like to believe whoever orchestrated everything knew this discussion was going to happen

Interestingly Non of the new Ryanair routes are showing any holidays available with On the Beach or Love Holidays yet, hopefully these will; be picked up asap to try maximise seat sales

Just watched MOL's recent BRU press conference on YouTube. Sorry don't know how to post links but it's on the Ryanair Dff thread if anyone interested - it is 32 mins long. Typical MOL bullish attitude but in summary:
Lots of repeated use of the F word
Slags off Ursula Von Der Leyen repeatedly for aviation policy inaction in Europe
Particularly slags off the Belgian Govt repeatedly for raising aviation taxes and is why they are cutting aircraft, routes and bases at CRL and BRU moving a/c to places like Sweden, Italy, Slovakia and Hungary where aviation taxes are being abolished.
Confident of having 16 x Max10s for next summer.
Big increase in air fares for next year as current fuel hedging runs out from March 2027.
Predicting a 6m pax growth for FR next year being helped by other airline consolidation.
And most interestingly, which I know we have heard before, he says Norwegian and Wizz probably won't survive this coming winter, including referencing Volotea and Air Baltic in Chapter 11.
Predicts Europe will get to 4 big players - IAG, LHG, AF/KL group and of course........Ryanair.
Apologies if I have missed anything

Well I remember him claiming Jet2 would go bust about 10 years ago!

It's very naughty of him given Ryanair compete with Wizz on many routes. Possibly designed to get people to book Ryanair rather than Wizz, just in case?

 

[Len Fish]

I can picture him now on the Max 10 production line with his megaphone swearing at the workforce to get a f***ing move on with the Ryanair aircraft.
