First time flight with Ryanair! Advice please

Nigglet

Hi

I am flying in 2 weeks to Mallorca with a 3 year old and think I have messed my booking up. I checked in on-line but only afterwards did I see the priority booking. I paid the extra £24 but now have a boarding pass which doesn't have priority booking and an itinery sheet which states I do.

Has anyone else made this mistake? Any advice- am really worried that I am not going to be able to sit next to my 3 year old??

Thanks

don't worry - you can reprint your boarding cards. But before you do so have a look at them on-screen and and make sure the priority boarding is showing. If not you might have to ring their call centre but you don't usually have to wait long.

Too late in the day now, but you didn't need priority boarding. RyanAir will let you board ahead of the rabble to sit with your child. Besides, avation rules state you must be sat next to your child, so FAs would move you together anyways.

Don't want to disagree with you Malkie, with all that that entails, but there is no middle ground. You're either priority boarding - or you're with the rabble.

Really? I'm sure RyanAir gets passengers with children or special assistance onto the plane after Priority boarding, but before the rest of the rabble.

Nevertheless, children that young have to be sat with their parents.

edit

Just checked their website, and I can't find anything in writing to support what I'm saying. I'm only flown RyanAir once, but really thought they did children after the priority boarders.

On a side point, apparently RyanAir limit Priority boarding to 90 passengers...........
