I tried a risk with Ryanair and got the best seat

I took a chance with Ryanair

Booking with Ryanair is a risk

Ryanair offers cheap flights to 230 places in 36 countries, making travel easy

Sometimes Ryanair flights can be very uncomfortable with long delays

We know the risks when we fly with Ryanair, but sometimes we get lucky

On a trip to Athens, I got a great seat, and it happened again on the way back

With budget airlines, you pay extra to choose your seat, which can be expensive

I got a seat by the emergency exit all to myself

Ryanair charges £4.50 to over £30 to choose your seat, which is a lot

If you don't choose a seat, you might get a bad one, like being between two big men

This time, I tried a trick that my wife and others use, and it worked

You just wait until the last minute to check in, which is at least 2 hours before the flight

The closer you check in to the flight time, the better seat you might get, because Ryanair wants you to pay for a better seat

If you wait, you might get a good seat for free

Maybe it was luck, but I got a great seat on the way to Athens and on the way back

On the way back, I got a window seat and then moved to an emergency exit seat

There is a risk to playing the seat game with Ryanair

One person warned that checking in late might get you a better seat, but don't miss the deadline

Ryanair charges a lot if you check in late, up to £55

One person said they got caught out by checking in late and it was stressful, so it's not worth it
