Ryanair hawks scratch off tickets on their flights

 We flew on Ryanair from Dublin to Vienna. Kind of reluctant to book it but it’s cheaper. Other than leaving a half hour late, it was fine. 

It was one of those get on from the tarmac planes up some stairs. Aisle was reasonably wide. We had good leg room because we sat in the exit row. Interesting story about that…

The flight attendant took one passenger in the exit rows booze away that they bought at the airport. I don’t know if you can’t drink your own booze on the flight or if they don’t want exit row passengers drunk. 

Ryan air is no frills. You pay for carry on luggage. You pay for a coke or water or snack. First thing that happened was the flight attendant tried to sell us the inflight magazine. Then the $3 water, pop came through. Half way into the flight an announcement is made that they will be coming down the aisle with things for sale: perfume, cosmetics, electronics, jewelry, everything but the kitchen sink.


You could buy a $15 scratch off ticket. They came down the aisle twice in case you changed your mind. 

It was an older plane. The seats weren’t really comfortable. Sounds like I hated it. No it was fine. The flight attendants were great.
