A deals expert found a way to avoid paying for seat selection on Ryanair. Ryanair has cheap fares to Europe.

Ryanair has extra charges like baggage fees. The seat selection fee is the most frustrating. It costs between €4.50 and €36.50.

The airline updated its Family Seating Policy, but you still have to pay to sit with someone over 11 or avoid a middle seat.

Money-saving expert Jordon Cox shared a two-minute trick to avoid the middle seat without paying.

Jordon said, 'Never sit in the middle seat again with this easy trick!' He shared the trick on TikTok.

Jordon advises checking the seating chart five to six hours before the flight to find unoccupied seats. Identify seats you want to avoid.

Open a new tab and create a new booking on the same flight. This is part of Jordon's trick.

Enter fake passenger names and assign them to the seats you want to avoid.

These seats are frozen for a few minutes while they're in someone else's booking.

Jordon hopes that only aisle and window seats are left after using the trick.

Return to your original booking and choose random seat allocation. You should avoid the middle seat for free.

People commented on the trick, saying it only works if the flight isn't full.

Someone said the airline will find out and stop the trick from working.

This isn't the only trick Ryanair passengers use to avoid charges. They share methods on social media to dodge fees.
