When you have 3 young kids to keep under control, youre basically praying to the airline gods forseatstogether.
Because, apparently, company policy is just a suggestion when youre flying low-cost.
Dad was lounging in row 5, mom was way back in row 32, and their kids?
Come on, Ryanair, what happened to kids under 12 sitting with an adult?
Now, if I were in their shoes, this is the point where Id start sweating bullets.
But no big deal, right?
But, once they got to the gate, same story, just a different location.
The flight attendants would sort it once on board.
Spoiler alert: they did not.
They were about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
The plane was packed, and any polite requests were met with the airlines classic Youre blocking the aisle.
I dont know about you but, at this point, Id be having a full-on panic attack.
Eventually the family was told theyd sort it once they sat down.
And, surprise, surprise, still nothing.
At this stage, theparentshad to start asking around, hoping other passengers would be willing to switch seats.
Its like playing musical chairs, but way more stressful and with way more judgmental glares.
Classy move, Ryanair!
Separating young kids from their parents on a crowded plane?
And dont even get me started on the anxiety this poor kid mustve gone through.
A cramped plane full of strangers isnt exactly the ideal setting for a 4-year-old.
I know, I know, no one wants to pay extra, but honestly?
Consider it an investment in your sanity.
And dont forget to pack all the snacks and entertainment it’s possible for you to carry.
Those can be lifesavers when stress levels are rising faster than the plane.
For this family, that answers probably a hard no.
