@normjess @Natasha_Jay I assume permission to taking the piss is an extra you have to jump through hoops to get on Ryanair.
One of the very few they don't try to shove down your throat, for obvious reasons...
@nanianmichaels @Natasha_Jay I was conflating joking with literally going to the toilet which costs money

My partner and I went up to the Ryanair check-in desk this morning.
The lady asked: "Do you have reservations?"
I said: "Yes, but we're flying with you anyway."
@Natasha_Jay My immediate reaction was whispering "Jeesus", while exhaling forcefully.
Brutal!

@nanianmichaels @Natasha_Jay you could win the lottery and still not afford to take the piss on Ryan Air
its like the Gold Card where if you spend 1 million dollars you get US Citizenship. people like us need not apply

@Natasha_Jay You cannot go wrong with a bit of Marxism, Groucho Marx that is.

@normjess @nanianmichaels @Natasha_Jay So many reasons not to fly Ryan Air.

@Natasha_Jay Ryanair once let me go on the plane with a wrong name on the boarding pass.
It was very early (6 AM or so) flight, so I wasn't very awake, and didn't notice this. Also all the 3-4 personnel checking my documents failed to notice it.
Only in the plane they started going through the documents for the second time, and then I looked at my boardin pass... I went to the crew and the situation was solved. We left like an hour late, so also the return flight was late.

I consider this my biggest achievement in modern aviation. I mean, who else has made two planes of 200 passengers to be late for more than an hour. Sorry about that, this crime happened in ~2009. To my defense, it was the mistake of the personnel, not me.
For years afterwards, I also got some mark on my travel documents, because I was constantly getting "randomly" checked by security. It stops feeling random if you get checked for all the flights you ever take.

On an internal flight in Brazil there was a guy standing in the aisle two rows ahead of us. Boarding finished and he's still there. Cabin staff took turns to come up to him. An hour passed. (This was a Brazilian airline. We'd boarded 45 mins after scheduled departure) After another 30 mins, they started asking for a volunteer to deplane and take a later flight. $200 and another 30 mins and a young woman stood up.
They had issued the same seat to two passengers.

@Natasha_Jay I'm surprised they didn't charge you extra for "making a joke"

This happened to me on a flight from London to Helsinki. Except the door of the plane was already closed and the crew was in a hurry to depart or they’d have to switch crew. I ended up flying in the cockpit jump seat and chatting with the pilots. Clearly, this happened before you-know-what.

Ours was after that thing. We had six flights, all with LAN. Every one was delayed and or over-booked. The three flights from Sao Paulo all went from the same gate, always along with at least one other. Snafu always.
