The couple chose not to book seats – which typically cost between £ 4.50 and £ 33 per seat – before they were on board because they didn’t care.
This may be a risk, as passengers may not get a seat next to their traveling companions – or they can be fought between two strangers between two strangers if they have assigned a less -worthy middle chair.
But According to ScottRyanair Gate staff told the couple that the flight was full and there was only one available seat as soon as all passengers were on board.
The fitness mentor, of Birmingham, West Midlands, said: ‘We went in the night before and we didn’t book a seat, but you usually only get a random one.
“My partner and I thought it wasn’t as much of a problem if we didn’t sit together for a two -hour flight, we’re adults here.”
He added: ‘We were the first at the gate ready for boarding. The lady scanned our boarding tickets and told us to walk to the side for a moment. The moment was a red flag, I thought, ‘something is happening here’.

Scott added: ‘I asked if we could have it in writing or’ Ne post to confirm it somehow. They said it is on the system, and if we go to ticket sales, they will compensate us and we can get on the next flight. ‘

Scott said: “Ryanair should have asked all passengers if anyone wants to offer their seats.
“It felt like discrimination, how do they choose these people, it is because we are young and we have no children, so there are only two of us, it is to do with something we do not see or understand.
“There was so much of it that was really frustrating, and that is the lack of care, no empathy. You can take your eyes out and they just don’t care, they are a dead pan. ‘
“We just had to come across what happened, it was a terrible way to start a holiday.
“They said during ticket sales that they would do it themselves and overcome everything and start the process so I didn’t complain formally.
