Ryanair’s ‘reckless’ response after passenger complains about legroom

Budget-friendly Ryanair has made a name for itself with its cheap flight deals.

It gets those low fares by offering a seamless experience, which means customers pay for extras like baggage and seat allocation. While many travelers know what to expect when flying with Ryanair, for some the experience can still come as a surprise.

A disgruntled passenger recently posted on X about the legroom on board the Ryanair plane.

X user @LordMakenzi wrote: “@Ryanair I’ll come with my legroom next time.”

Ryanair, which has a reputation for its tongue-in-cheek social media posts, responded by saying: “Come on your own plane next time.”

The post attracted more than 100,000 likes and 600 comments, with many X users pointing out how wild the response was. @adielivingitup said: “Ryanair Air customer service is brutal,” while @BlyssfulTravels added: “Ooo whoever is behind this account is crazy.”

User X said he’s happy to fly Ryanair but draws the line if they ever start charging to use the toilet. @Molibar wrote: “Ryanair is the only airline I wholeheartedly recommend. Always on time, always cheap and comfortable enough for me, but if you start charging for toilets I’m breaking up with you!”

The airline offers extra leg seats priced between £11 and £33. The fee depends on the dates of your flight and the route you travel.
