The amount of arguments I’ve had with my Mrs about the boarding sign not meaning we need to sprint to the desk
Had a ryanair flight yesterday that closed boarding 10 minutes before the stated time. We all know they’re shite but they could at least be consistent with their shittiness.
Thought they were too cheap for transporter technology…
Midair boarding is more efficient – you’ll be grand! Just hold onto your one piece of hand luggage tightly in the catapult.
They’re pre boarding you so they can hoof the inbound lot off and load you on as fast as possible. Very common to minimise delays.
How high can you jump?
Just be left standing in the stair way. Such a pain
They do this so that everyone is as ready as possible to get seated and get going when the plane gets in. Get everyone ready now, everyone can get straight on once the plane is ready. Wait till it’s on the ground, lose time to finishing up the boarding process, maybe someone’s missing or has an issue with their ticket, etc, etc. Aviation is the ultimate “time is money” industry.
Don’t worry they’ll wait until it’s on the ground before making you get on.
How much did they charge you to check this?
It’s literally to give them time to size bags
Does anyone know of Ryanair ever closing a flight before the incoming flight had landed or arrived at the gate? I always get the feeling that is something they would/could do.
Some length of a boarding stairs
Boarding now!!! Pay extra to board now!!
Ryanair wouldn’t lie to you.
That’s normal. Recently flew from Leeds Bradford and was left standing for 40 minutes on a stairwell in direct sun. I watched the plane land and have its passengers disembark. I wonder is there some cost involved in letting the passengers sit in the lobby?
Look man everyone knows ya have to get the cattle into the pen before the truck arrives
I’ll allow it, they make money on their efficiency
If you don’t preemptively call people to action early, they’ll just dick about
Wouldn’t be a Ryanair flight if they didn’t have you standing in a stairwell for 25mins before you then have to get a bus out to meet the airplane on the furthest away runway from the airport…… Oh and it’s raining aswell 😐
They are the masters of #boardingnotboarding where you get to stand in a hallway or on a staircase, but you’ve been scanned in. Bit miserable when you’re waiting and waiting, but I have to admit that it does make things more efficient than waiting until people are disembarking to start. I’m sad to admit I’ve wished for it at times when other airlines are just seeming to take their time over it all in comparison and we’re getting later and later 😂 Just horse everyone on and let’s go!
Drive by pick up
Such chancers! My cousin worked in aviation and said their turn around times were dodgy
They’ll leave ye all crammed into a stairway for 45 minutes… standard procedure for them
Ever play metal gear solid 5 and use the Fulton extraction?
They did this to me a few weeks ago in Edinburgh. Flying Edinburgh to Dublin and they said Now Boarding. Everyone rushed down of course to get in queue. Flight was at 23.35 IIRC and this was around 23:05. Got there, nothing happening, everyone sits around. Dude beside me pulls out his Flight Radar app and shows it to his partner and goes “FFS the flight is literally just taking off from Dublin now”. I thought he was just wrong. But nope. I watched it on the radar, take off from Dublin as they announced Now Boarding in Edinburgh. Flight was delayed because it’s like a 45 min or so flight. End up not boarding til nearly 20 past 12. But at that hour it feels so much later and you just want to get home. To make it worse I did everything I wanted to do that day in Edinburgh so decided to get to the airport early and relax 😂 so I end up like 6 hours early for my flight 😅
Ryanair somehow doesn’t show up on Flight Aware as accurately as most other airlines. Their in-air location is pretty accurate, but flight times & gate status aren’t.
Nothing new, ye will be standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting, whilst sweating Kilo’s off ye so they use less fuel…
They’ll toss down a rope in a minute. Hold on tight!
You: “I can’t board the plane!”
RyanAir: “Well, not with *that* ~~attitude~~ altitude.”

Have you not heard Ryanair introduced [Sky Hook](https://youtu.be/N3VwTC9E3f8?feature=shared) boarding option for their priority passengers recently.
You have to send bags by Anpost tho

That’s priority for you
This is standard. First time flying or something?
Where priority boarding is a burden
Costs more if you want the plane to land.
