Ryanair Priority Boarding

It seems you now have to pay £2 each for each flight to get priority boarding. BUT, if you have a baby you cannot get it??? I thought babies/pushchairs got priority boarding anyway...anyone flown recently and can advise?

good plan!
I use those bags to make hand puppets out of during the flight,so if you ever see one with scribbled face on you'll know we were there before you!

I find a big bag of wotsits surrounds you with a no go zone. Smear the orange stuff all over childs face until everyone seated and you are guarenteed to have a empty seat beside them, then as soon as you can get out the baby wipes, or get one of those fake sicks from the joke shop.

We did the Ryanair Stanstead - Bergerac (France) then back from Carcasonne (France) to Stanstead flight.

I was mad when I found out about their £2 charge for common sense boarding. Just another way to get more money out of you in addition to their charge per bag. The guy said the reason was that families with e.g 10 adults and one child were all going on priority boarding when it was free. But if that was the real reason (instead of penny pinching sh*ts)then common sense would prevail that they had a rule of 2 adults per child max etc...

We live the opposite side of the M25 (only free car park around London) so ended up getting to Stanstead 5 hours before our flight (for once there was room to move on the free car park - had allowed 3 hours to get there once and nearly missed flight).

Then you can only check bags in 2 hours before. For the first 45 mins they only had 1 check in desk open. Queued for ages and then had only time to go in 2 shops before legging it to the gate.

I HATE RYANAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ALSO HATE THE M25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had a look on the Ryanair website and they say they are number one for the fewest customer complaints.....?

Come on mums, all get on their site and complain about the boarding procedures the rip off £2 priority charges ......
