A favorite airline amongst study abroaders, Ryanair is the go-to airline for cheap flights around Europe. While Ryanair flights tend to be cheaper than a lot of the competition, they also require you to deal with a few more logistics, and that can lead to mixed reviews.
Ryanair recommends all passengers to either print their boarding pass prior to arriving at the airport, or to access their mobile boarding pass on their phone in order to save time and money at the airport.

How to Avoid the Ryanair Baggage Fees: Make sure everything you'll need in the air will fit into a bag sized 35cm x 20cm x 20cm, opt not to bring a second bag if possible and make Ryanair aware in advance if you need special assistance/medical equipment.

Seats on Ryanair flights are not allocated, and you definitely cannot pre-book seats. Getting to the airport early will make no difference to where you get to sit. You can pay extra for priority boarding which enables you to be in the first batch of passengers to scramble for seats.
Some airlines will make you pay a fine if you haven't checked-in online or if you don't have a printed copy of your boarding pass. You're much less likely to be denied boarding by checking-in online. Plus, if you cancel your reservation, a new seat is immediately available online.
A Ryanair spokesman said in response: "Customers who buy priority boarding board the aircraft first. "Priority boarding customers can bring 2 free carry-on bags (1 x 10kg wheelie bag and 1 small bag). Non-priority customers are entitled to one small bag."
When do I need to arrive at the airport if I check in online? If you are checking baggage, you will need to arrive at the airport at least ninety (90) minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. If you are not checking baggage, you must arrive at the airport at least sixty (60) minutes prior to scheduled departure.
