The Ryanair flights mistake you're making every time you book - with secret to getting best seat

Summer holidays are back with the pandemic no longer stopping Irish people jetting off to their favourite sun traps.

Ryanair has a bumper summer calendar with dozens of flights heading out of Ireland to every corner of Europe each day.

But when people are booking, many are not putting thought into where they sit and ending up envious of others in better spots than them when on the aircraft.

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

Want more leg room? An early exit or the perfect view? Here's which seats you need to book on your next flight.

Ryanair's best seats

Early exit or first to use the bathroom

If you want to beat the toilet queue on board 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 spots

Flying over some nice views and want to get a 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.
