It looks like budget no-frills airline Ryanair may be adding some frills as it trials a reserved seating service on its Dublin to Malaga and Dublin to Gatwick routes from May. If not having to scramble for the best seats is a success, the airline plans to roll the service out to selected other routes in the following months.
The reservations do of course incur a charge, starting from 16th May, passengers can pre-book seats for €10 each way, including priority boarding.
The system allows passengers to pre-reserve seats in the front two rows, for a prompt exit on arrival, or in over wing rows (16&17) which have extra legroom.
So, what do you think of this trial? Good idea, or more money for the airline?
