“Paying for that extra seat probably saved this person’s life.”

Ryan Air is the budget airline in Europe. Dublin Ireland is their home office and main hub airport. I’ve flown it many times. It’s cheaper than a taxi. Dublin to London was 10 Euro.

I just checked their current fares, Dublin to Athens for 75 Euro, Dublin to Barcelona for 40 Euro, Dublin to Rome 43 Euro...

I frequently stay in Dublin and just keep booking flights to my chosen destination.

They herd you like cattle in gates. You walk across the tarmac and up the steps to board, and there are no assigned seats. You just pile in.

They typically are 30 minutes from landing to takeoff, with a very high on time rating.
