What is Ryanair’s Family Seat Policy?

Ryanair allows passengers to choose between free, randomly assigned seats during check-in (available 24 to 2 hours before departure) or purchasing reserved seats, which can be selected and secured up to 60 days in advance. Reserved seat prices vary based on their location on the aircraft.

Ryanair offers the option to purchase reserved seats or free seats, which are assigned randomly during check-in. Passengers who choose ‘random seat allocation’ can check in between 24 hours and 2 hours before the flight departure time.

If you purchase a seat at the time of booking, during check-in, or at any point leading-up to your flight, you can choose where to sit and that seat will be reserved for you. Online check-in opens 60 days before the scheduled departure time if you have purchased an allocated seat.

The price of a reserved seat depends on where you choose to sit on the aircraft.
