    Because different planes have different numbers of seats so mistakes could easily be made.

    Nope, all Ryanair aircraft are identical as far as I am aware.

    Boeing 737 .. 800 series.

    Correct 189 capacity, but subtracting empty seats wouldn't account for infants.

    Probably a student doing a viability survey too - i used to see them on the train to work every month or so, atleast they had the sense to wear high vis vests and you didn't just think it was some lunatic clicking away!

    They might be praying. Modern equivalent of rosary beads.

    Aren't Ryanair soon going to be installing extra seats in place of (luxury) toilets though?

    Public transport usage survey. For investigating investment in new infrastructure and possibly building transport models.

    Outside London bus companies don't know how many passengers are on each bus, only how many have single/return/day/season tickets. Therefore to get passenger numbers without wildly underestimating, surveyors have to be sent out.

    As I've said, there's no way they were counting passengers.

    I'm serious about the prayer comment. Muslims sometimes use them to count their utterances.
