Ryanair flight mistake you make every time you book - and secret to getting best seat

This summer is expected to be the busiest yet for holidays as people make plans to jet off for some summer sun.

Ryanair has announced a bumper summer schedule, with thousands of flights heading out of and into Ireland every week.

This includes 14 new destinations from Dublin Airport to sun hotspots like Asturias and Castellon in Spain, Kos and Zakynthos in Greece, and city break destinations like Stockholm, Genoa and Leipzig.

Speaking last month, Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said: “As Ireland’s no. 1 airline, Ryanair is pleased to announce our biggest ever Dublin schedule for Summer ‘23, with over 2,000 weekly flights to 130 top destinations across 27 countries, incl. 14 new routes offering Dublin customers/visitors even more choice for their Summer holidays at the lowest fares in Europe."

When it comes to booking a flight, many people don't put much thought into where to sit on an airplane and may end up picking their location at random. This mistake could leave them envious of others in better spots.

But by following Ryanair's handy plane map, this won't be a problem for those who are prepared.

Whether you want more leg room, an early exit or the perfect view - here's Ryanair seating locations you need to know about.

Ryanair's best seats

Early exit or first to use the bathroom

If you want to beat the toilet queue and be the first heading off the flight, you need to book a seat in rows 1 A, B, C or 2 D, E, F.

Best picture spot

Flying over some nice views and want to get the perfect picture? You should be booking a window seat that’s located somewhere between rows 15 and 18.

Extra leg room

Who wouldn't want extra leg room? The budget airline says you should be going for rows 16 and 17 to get some extra space for your feet.

Take a nap

There's only one answer for this one. 11A has no window so it's perfect to get those valuable hours of sleep while travelling.
