Secret tip (worked last time I was at STN a couple months ago): To bypass all the mall BS that comes after security, instead of scanning a fast track pass to make the shortcut door open, you can also ... just push the door with your hand. Pro: Doesn't cost money. Con: You have to use your hands and miss out on fancy automatic door action.

Not quite. It is for those who pay to carry on a wheels bag and this is regardless of whether or not you have a checked bag. Those without this can only bring on a small bag that must fit under the set. Priority boarding is to ensure that those who pay for the carry on of wheels bags actually find space. If you are not in a rush and have time to wait for delivery of a checked bag, you can bring twice as much luggage for the same price and do not need to board first if you then have no hand luggage and only have a coat and a newspaper. I like the idea of having this choice and depending on my needs will go for one or the other. With no hand luggage, you might as well board last. It involves less queueing and shuffling.
@AnyFile2 жыл бұрын
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 The problem arise when your travelling involve many days and only a hand luggage is not enough. You could just put everything in the checked bag, but there are some items you can not put in them (because it is illegal, for example powerbank, or unwise, for example something expensive like a camera). In this scenario, that I believe to be not so uncommon, you are actually force to pay two supplement, one for the checked bag and one for the priority. This is one of the reason why it is actually better, when comparing prices, to look at the prices you are requested to paid at the end of the check out and not at the starting price. (also adding the cost of transportations to from the airport and parking at the airports is also a good idea)

If you fly 5 + return trips a year, buy a Priority Pass, they are always doing promotions and offer good value. Got one 2 years ago as I had 15 flights booked (Dont tell Greta) each lounge visit worked out at about £12. instead of the usual £25+. At most UK airports, you buy a sandwich £4.50, a bottle of water £3.00, packet of crisps £1.25, bar of chocolate £1.50, thats over 10 quid! Why give WH Rip Off Smith all that money, lounges offer hot and cold food, hot and cold drinks and alcohol. Iv`e had the Ryanair Lasagne, its really good.

I understand that Ryanair Priority Boarding is underwealming for most passengers. There can be up to 100 priority passengers on each flight. The reason for this is, that separating the passengers into priority and non-priority is not meant for the passenger. It is only exists for operational reasons. Only priority passengers are allowed to bring a cabin bag on board. There is space for just about 100 cabin bags in the overhead bins, so priority is limited to 100 tickets per flight. All other non-priority passengers may only bring a small bag plus one duty free bag on board. Through this boarding procedure, the gate agent is able to single out passengers with excess handluggage, charge them and tag the bag way in advance, so the bag can be quickly loaded in the hold without delaying the flight. Without this procedure, every boarding would end in full overhead bins and last minute tagging and loading while delaying the flight. Ryanair passengers usually try to bring more handluggage (often too much), as check-in luggage costs extra.
