15 signs you are a seasoned Ryanair veteran

We can help each other through this.

AER LINGUS MIGHT be the national airline, but flying Ryanair is the national experience.

Let’s get through this together. How many of the following signs do you exhibit?

1. When you book a flight, you reflexively check whether the airport is anywhere near the city it’s named after

2. This is you, dodging the website charges

3. This is your nemesis

For checked baggage, obviously. You wouldn’t pull this kind of crazy stunt with hand baggage.

4. Your first reaction when you see this photo is “How did they get so much legroom?”

6. You believe in the uncrossable social boundary between the regular queue and the Priority Q

7. And you know that queuing isn’t about the seat, it’s about getting the primo hand luggage space
