Europeans, when is the best time to do a Ryanair check in: as soon as possible, or a bit later? : yurop

Honestly for a 2 hour flight I find it decent, and the prices are hard to beat

I was once a student, and Ryanair was the shit. But one thing that is not factored into the price is the risk of being fucked by Ryanair. Disregarding delays, I have been denied boarding twice (mainly because they overbooked the flight), and attributed the cause to me arriving late, never was the case. No appeal nor EU261 would have helped. So in retrospect, you are 100% correct.

Wow, sorry to hear, never had an issue with Ryanair. Vueling seems to overbook more, I had friends who almost had issues once

What's the alternative? EasyJet?

Trains

Oftentimes, yes. I love trains.

Sorry, can’t hear you over the noise from my champagne glass being refilled in the Frankfurt FCT.

If you check in late for a flight that is usually busy, you have a higher chance of getting a premium seat for free (first rows or emergency exit rows with extra legroom).

I randomly got it once, felt like winning the lottery ha ha
