YOU HAVE YOUR SAY

EVERY week, Money Mail receives hundreds of your letters and emails about our stories. Here are some from our report on how two parents and a teenage child have almost no chance of sitting together on a Ryanair flight without paying extra: ONE IN 17,578 — THE CHANCE OF A FAMILY OF 3 GETTING SEATS TOGETHER ON RYANAIR Money Mail, March 14 I WONDER who is responsible for child safeguarding if an airline does not seat parents and children together unless they pay? If a child is not sitting with their parent and the airline has an emergency, who is responsible for ensuring the child’s oxygen mask is put on? D. H., via email. WHEN we flew to Malaga in February, Ryanair allocated our seats randomly. On both journeys, my six-year-old grandson was given a seat on his own in the middle of a row. It cost us £8 so his mother could sit next to him. It’s a complete fiasco and time the firm came clean. D. W., via email. I HAVE flown hundreds of times with Ryanair. We always board when we want to and usually sit together in the first five rows. We have never been late or had flights cancelled, and we pay on average £10 each for the privilege. I have no complaints. L. U., Spain. WHY is everyone so obsessed with sitting together? Most of these flights are only two or three hours long. You read, watch TV on your phone or play games. So what difference does it make? You will see them when you get off the plane. If you have children, you have to pay, or go with another airline. M. A., London. THIS is why the flights are so cheap. If you want the extras, pay for them or go with another airline. It’s £4 per seat. A lot of people will spend more than that on a pint in the airport bar. I. S., Wolverhampton.
