The surprising truth about Ryanair plane seats – and which one to book for more leg room
A TRAVEL hacker has revealed the surprising truth about Ryanair aeroplane seats – and which one to book for more leg room.
TikToker Ms Garn warned her 340,000 plus followers “don’t book the aisle seat”.
In a video on her channel, she said: “Did you know aisle seats have noticeably less floor space compared to the middle and window seat?
“Opt for the middle seat for the most room, followed by my personal favourite the popular window seat.”
Ms Garn, who has travelled to 54 countries and boasts over 8.1 million views, also revealed her “priority boarding hack”.
She said her tip means travellers avoid the “personal item trap” and instead enjoy skipping endless boarding queues and hoping there’ll be space in the overhead locker.
“When you go to book your flight resist the allure of the plus and regular options, and go for basic.
“Don’t fall for the check luggage trap,” the expert explained.
“Then there’ll be another option to ‘add priority’. Don’t do it. Wait for the next screen where you can add it for less.”
She showed an example of it being £22 to add priority boarding, which comes with two free cabin bags instead of paying for checked luggage.
Ms Garn said she’d also “bagged” the same deal for as little as £10.
It comes after Sun Travel deputy editor Kara Godfrey and frequent flyer shared a common travel hack she sees other plane passengers use but she hates.
She said: “Flying economy is never comfortable, especially when a plane is busy.
“However, a recent trick has been revealed across social media that can get you an empty seat next to you without paying for it.
“If you are travelling as a couple, ‘experts’ have said you should book the window seat and aisle seat if the aircraft has a three-seat formation.
“This is because people are unlikely to book a middle seat, so can be left empty if the plane isn’t full.
“And even if the plane is full, it means you can swap with the person anyway to sit next to your friend or partner.
“However, I have fallen victim to this on recent trips.
“Finding myself in the middle seat, I have been stuck between two friends, one in the aisle and one in the window.
“After realising they were friends, I asked if one of them wanted to trade places with me so they could sit together.
“They declined, so I assumed they would be fine not talking to each other.
“Wrong. What they instead wanted was to keep their “superior” seats while constantly leaning over me to chat.”
Woman reveals incredible all-inclusive hotel hack and people are obsessed
BY SOPHIE WARBURTON
A WOMAN has revealed an incredible all-inclusive hotel hack and people are obsessed with it.
In August, Lucy Barson shared her all-inclusive top tip with her thousands of followers on TikTok.
Lucy’s video has now racked up a whopping 748.2K views and 13.7K likes.
The video, found on @lucybarson’s TikTok account, presents her point of view (POV) when it comes to making the most out of an all-inclusive holiday.
“POV: Bought a cup from Tenerife to stop using the tiny all inclusive cups and going to the bar every 10 mins”, she joked.
In the video it appears the TikTokker, and presumably her boyfriend, have nabbed two large pint looking cups with handles to use instead of the all-inclusive’s cups.
It would seem with cups of this size, far fewer trips to the bar are necessary as the bigger the cup, the bigger the drink.
According to The New York Times, all-inclusive’s usually serve drinks in polystyrene cups.
These cups aren’t recyclable and typically, they tend to be a bit small.
However, this TikTokker has sent fans wild with her new hack.
“Stop it! I literally saw you walk past the pool with these and wondered where you got them from because that is genius”, said one amazed fan.
Another person shared their experience with hotel cups: “I always take a mug !
“The size of hotel coffee mugs drives me mad. Far to small.”
“Genius!!!”, said a third person.
While a fourth person commented: “Omg me and my boyfriend was here in July literally up every two seconds for another drink.”
A fifth person offered her own hack: “Even better hack – get a Stanley dupe!! Keeps the drinks cold for ages.”
