I wish it was only Ryan Air, every other company does that nowadays. Every time I travel alone I end up switching seat a couple of times to let couples and families sit together.

They once wanted twice as much as booking another ticket to change a name...

It's to combat ticket resellers.

Which is fair and should happen. You're going to pay it anyways, but now they need to tell right up how much it'll be.

I travel for work, only once I've ended up being overbooked on a flight in Europe, and that was when I booked the ticket like two hours before.
