How to fly FIRST CLASS with RYANAIR

- Is it possible to have first class experience with Ryanair? That’s the question we set out to answer in our latest video.
We booked seat 1A and a few extras to see if we could make our short Ryanair flight from Stansted to Madrid feel that bit more premium.

i love that the car ride was more expensive than the flight lmao
Even with buying two seats on the plane 😂
Exactly. Pretty dumb
I got a return flight to Madrid for £7 each way. My taxi to the airport was £30 🤣
LYAO
For sure!!
I actually had to rewatch that part right after to check the price again hahaha
Isn't it crazy that everything in this video was more expensive than the ACTUAL FLIGHT TICKET?!
(Except the food)
That's exactly right. Save to find a 14 pound ticket then making it over 200 pounds and drinking fizzy wine, the worst you can have to be aware of everything. All of this was crazy.
@@AlbertKoshi23 Not exactly. Well, he’s rich, so he can do that, but fair point to save.
@@theminuteblog5323 he’s not rich, he was funded by the channel Which is rich.
Secret tip (worked last time I was at STN a couple months ago): To bypass all the mall BS that comes after security, instead of scanning a fast track pass to make the shortcut door open, you can also ... just push the door with your hand.
Pro: Doesn't cost money.
Con: You have to use your hands and miss out on fancy automatic door action.
That con ruins the entire airport like imagine having to use your hands at an airport to open doors
Wow
LMAO. I got free fast track.
This video has once again shown what an idiot I am sometimes. I lived in London for 4 years and flew out of Stansted at least 50 times. I always had FastTrack and didn't know that you can save yourself the long walk through the DutyFree area and get directly to the lounge via a shortcut.
Great video. Just out of principle, I will fly to my old home country again next year and then take the shortcut. 😝
@@johnfran3218 it won't make anybody believe that, but only makes their feel much worse than before
This once again shows how connected the RUclips community is. I still know you from these EU article 13 Minecraft videos.
The person sitting behind; this guys frickin mad 🤣
You know its bad when the travel neck pillow is the same price as the actual flight 😂😂
I literally was waiting for report like this since 2 years! I was searching everywhere for someone who bought all Ryanair's additions for the booking and tried to fly it as a traditional airline! Thank you!
Love Nicky and his great attitude. This is a great channel. I'm glad that you guys are getting to do your thing again. Keep up the good work.
Nicky: “It’s Kelvin.”
Receptionist: “Nicky Kelvin.”
Wow, did we walking into the spin-off of ‘No Time To Die’? (Jk it’s awesome and cool)
i was waiting for her to say "like the lord?"
I work for Ryanair out of Stansted, this is one thing that keeps coming up. Unfortunately “priority boarding” usually means you can bring a bag onboard and a bag in the hold, not being on the plane first.
Then surely that should be called Something like “Baggage plus”
Wtf?
You would assume so. However it is basically a way of Ryanair getting more money from the passenger. If you don’t buy priority boarding, and you bring a small case onboard. You get charged a further £60, but that still doesn’t allow you to bring the case on the plane
The problem with the front row on Ryanair is that when the plane lands, everyone piles forward and it can be tough getting back to get your carry on luggage, especially if you're not one of the first on board
What do you mean by getting back to your carry on luggage? I play Gandalf until they give me my luggage!
@@florianschaefer78 if your bag is, say at row 4, no one is letting you back to get it from row 1, so you're stuck there until most people are off the plane
This is absurd...and I love it!
When you book with RyanAir select the basic seat with no baggage, continue to the end and it will offer you baggage options/prices for chepaer than it was at the very start
I travel on Ryanair quite a bit, and I find there are usually more people with Priority boarding than non-priority. I think the demand is for the additional baggage allowance, and not getting on the plane first (or as is often the case, first to get on the bus which takes us to the aircraft).
It would be ironic if ‘FastTrack’ was slow. I think that’s what usually happens.
When many people used the track
Reminds me of priority boarding. Sometimes, if a hotel is booked in combination with a flight, you‘ll automatically have priority boarding (therefore check your ticket) and depending on the airport, priority boarding just is a waste of money.
Great idea briliantly executed. I wouldnt pay 200 quid for the car ride, flew through Stansted 2 weeks ago and the place is beyond help, your whole journey looks like an awesome adventure. Well done!
What's the cheapest way of basically getting a taxi from your house to Stansted then
I would defenetly paid that for the ride, only part of the trip wich felt “first class” to me. Ryanair its kinda ok if u wanna go make a cheap trip, its defenetly worth it, however it feels like u sit on a train cause the attitude of the people and the quality of the service what you get...
Honestly I enjoyed this more than the regular first class videos
1:29 Loving Nicky in his CEO outfit. #PoshSpice 👏🏽
i think the problem is the fact that more than half of the extra cost is actually the car to the airport. if you took first class stansted express it would still be first class but definitely cheaper and quicker :)
i have never booked for priority security as usually you never wait for more than 20 mins for security and i think that the lounge in stansted is much better than many others, you can have a proper hot meal
Great video as always. I hope you get a million subscribers in the future Points guys uk
Love this. Just the essence of cheekiness.
Ryanair are hilarious, priority boarding is included when you pay extra for hand luggage. So anyone who had any form of luggage gets priority boarding 😂
I think there is a limited number of people who can buy it for each flight
Not quite. It is for those who pay to carry on a wheels bag and this is regardless of whether or not you have a checked bag. Those without this can only bring on a small bag that must fit under the set. Priority boarding is to ensure that those who pay for the carry on of wheels bags actually find space. If you are not in a rush and have time to wait for delivery of a checked bag, you can bring twice as much luggage for the same price and do not need to board first if you then have no hand luggage and only have a coat and a newspaper. I like the idea of having this choice and depending on my needs will go for one or the other. With no hand luggage, you might as well board last. It involves less queueing and shuffling.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 The problem arise when your travelling involve many days and only a hand luggage is not enough. You could just put everything in the checked bag, but there are some items you can not put in them (because it is illegal, for example powerbank, or unwise, for example something expensive like a camera). In this scenario, that I believe to be not so uncommon, you are actually force to pay two supplement, one for the checked bag and one for the priority.
This is one of the reason why it is actually better, when comparing prices, to look at the prices you are requested to paid at the end of the check out and not at the starting price. (also adding the cost of transportations to from the airport and parking at the airports is also a good idea)
My travel airport guide:
1. Book a midnight coach for a flight that leaves early in the morning
2. Upon arrival at the airport, check in as soon as I can
3. Buy food at the airport to eat on the plane
4. Walk around the airport by cisitibg different gates and looking at different flights outside the window and wonder, “where are these people off to”
That's the real experience. 😂
I Lõve this
Every time I see the new video coming, I know it gonna make my day😊
thanks so much for sharing - we loved watching x
We went thriough Stansted last week to Spain and why would you NOT pay for fast track.. best value £7-00 ever!!. Will need to keep an eye out for that sneaky shortcut to the lounge though. The breakfast in the lounge is amazing.. worth the earlier flight. Didn't experience the same as you at the gate though, so it must just be Ryanair.. all documents checked at Checkin and then before boarding so then it was very smooth...
LOVE your idea of booking an extra seat next to you .. fantastic way of getting room at a cheap price ....
Great video :-)
As someone from the United States. I actually really enjoyed this video. The made the very best of it with no complaints.
Great videos like always ❤️🥳😍😍
I love the yellow seats so pretty and good price as well
Tried seat 1A and I can confirm Its a bit narrower but also the leg space
Would’ve clicked faster if it said “how to fly first class FOR FREE…”
LOL
Nice video keep up the good work
Step 1: Be rich.
...
Ok, I failed from the start.
Really made me laugh this morning, you were dedicated to a very unique cause.
Missed you Nicky!
well done amazing video
Great video.....I have just paid for that same seat and it now costs £28 for extra front row leg room seats. My fast track through security was the same as yours....rude staff and I noticed I took longer than a family I could see going through the normal rows. I'm wearing a shirt a tie next time, lol.
After watching this video, I and travel companion bought the middle seat in row 1 only to be now told by Ryan AIr that row 1 seat cannot be a comfort seat! So frustrating as the extra seat was not cheap.
Priceless.
Omg is there anything better than WHSmith? (For people who live in the Uk, you may think I’ve lost my marbles but I love it)
It’s so expensive
Fine for some😑
Literally any other shop.
Overpriced. And will be bankrupt soon .
This WH Smith is everywhere even in an airport with 2 jet bridged
Nicky, I love your tie! Is it paisley?
The question is while would a first class ticket cost with a more traditional airline during that timefraem?
There is no first class within europe. Only on intercontinental flights.
@@marcmauldan8707 there is internationl business between London and madrid via BA or IB who fly wide bodies
@@harshilpatel684 Do they operate this as "FIRST" though?
@@marcmauldan8707 IB doesn't have a first class product I don't think, I few business from MAD to LHR on an a350 connecting from another long haul flight and that only had business.
I reckon BA whilst having first only sells it as a business class ticket too (and may give high yielding members the first hard product to try on the short flight)
I doubt they have many first pax connecting onto long haul flights, E.g. Someone flying first on a connecting MAD-LHR-LAX or HKG, but again on a 2hr flight how much can first really differentiate from business
What do you call the mount on your camera on 7:56?
Looking good!
wish points guy uk would have an extra long video like an hour for one of your adventures. this is better than tv and movies
8:47 i loved that smile
You remind me of Mark Wright (TOWIE) you even sound alike.
Amazing Video!
Brilliant idea!! Well done for trying
The one luxury I might pick up from this video is fast track security. For £7 that is a huge time saver!
i was at stansted airport from malta to there and back with ryain air
Nice video
The priority queu for ryanair boeadring is always huge bc priority is the only way to bring a cabin bag onboard, hence everyone buys it
Fantastic video!
That was a pretty entertaining video Nicky.
nice one I like that !
Oh Lordy I’m going to Barcelona from Edinburgh on 22Feb. 06.30am dept. I’m very confused about the baggage rules. I THINK I’ll be ok. Your wee film cheered me up cos I’m VERY nervous 😬 thank you!
Love it !!! :-) and i love Ryanair (and you!) ☺
I used to commute through Birmingham airport twice a week, and always found it amazing how many people thought I worked there, especially as I was pulling a hand luggage case! Haha
Entertaining video. If you actually booked a first class flight for this route would it have been cheaper?!
The extra seat was so extra ✨
Did that fizzy wine come out a bottle or am I mistaken in seeng fizzy wine being served like lager / beer etc , from a high pressurized nozzle !!! Great vids by the way : > )
No way! At 3:44 it’s the same lounge that I was in when I went to the Maldives in 2020 just before covid
If you fly 5 + return trips a year, buy a Priority Pass, they are always doing promotions and offer good value. Got one 2 years ago as I had 15 flights booked (Dont tell Greta) each
lounge visit worked out at about £12. instead of the usual £25+. At most UK airports, you buy a sandwich £4.50, a bottle of water £3.00, packet of crisps £1.25, bar of chocolate
£1.50, thats over 10 quid! Why give WH Rip Off Smith all that money, lounges offer hot and cold food, hot and cold drinks and alcohol. Iv`e had the Ryanair Lasagne, its really good.
Loved this First Class TPGUK production Nicky.
NEW VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m liking the suit wheee did you get the suit abs tie as well
How does the booking an extra seat thing work?? Don't you have to have a named passenger etc ... Just wondering thst for the price it's a no brainer ...
there is no wall at the front of the cabin where the door is?
Okay, I love the "make it fancy" concept - that should be an ongoing thing!
EDIT: This is more of a "force it fancy" lol
Is the lounge pass only 23 - and you can eat and drink as much as you want?
No idea why I love the food on Ryanair so much. Best upgrades are fast track security and a seat at the front.
Yes, the hot food on Ryanair is surprisingly good. It's better than on most flag carrier airlines.
I understand that Ryanair Priority Boarding is underwealming for most passengers. There can be up to 100 priority passengers on each flight.
The reason for this is, that separating the passengers into priority and non-priority is not meant for the passenger. It is only exists for operational reasons. Only priority passengers are allowed to bring a cabin bag on board. There is space for just about 100 cabin bags in the overhead bins, so priority is limited to 100 tickets per flight. All other non-priority passengers may only bring a small bag plus one duty free bag on board. Through this boarding procedure, the gate agent is able to single out passengers with excess handluggage, charge them and tag the bag way in advance, so the bag can be quickly loaded in the hold without delaying the flight. Without this procedure, every boarding would end in full overhead bins and last minute tagging and loading while delaying the flight. Ryanair passengers usually try to bring more handluggage (often too much), as check-in luggage costs extra.
I love it.
haha class video Nicky!
It amazes me how many people doing flight reports etc really don’t know much. Here’s a simple test, what is the best quality flight for the lowest cost, ie above basic economy flying from Paris to Adelaide in late September or early October. Let’s see if anyone can come up with something.
Lovely muzzle 👌
How much extra was landing gear deployment?
FINNALY RYANAIR
Hi nick
I live in the nearby town of bishop's Stortford and I always fly from there .However I will go to Gatwick in 4 days
Pay for the seat next to you, what a great idea 👍
When it comes to short flights I always thought there's not much of a difference between first class and economy. The seats are usually the same anyways.
true but u also get lounge access and priority. of coarse Ryanair's priority doesn't work but B.A´s priority is pretty good
The first or business seats would have been a bit more spacious. (like half a seat space extra) plus the staff will give you priority.
Think I’d ditch the car but the rest feels legit. First class on the Stansted express perhaps :)
love the idea
Unfortunately Stansted Express is now Standard Class only 😥
That ride was too extravagant.
This was such a cool episode! Nicky really tried to make low-budget as luxurious as possible. Still not even close to first class though
not even business class
not even close to an Air France interior flight with the fancy old little 2+2 planes
Hi TPGUK
I am not sure you can’t book two seats with the same passenger name.
That suits says “hello, how may I help you?”
Looks cool
My new best friend...subscribed.
Do a review an all business classes
I have been to that lounge
I don't like to have an empty seat in the first row while flying. If the plane don't come with a rudder trim there isn't much of empy leg space in the first row ;). Of cause the view in the first row in a plane is magnificent but the back rows are calmer (for travel and not for the fun of flying).
You paid over 200 pounds just for the S-Class transport?
The best seat is B4 or B6 if you like Window. You won't have stewards walking over your legs when they come in.
Hi how are you and I am Zack from Malaysia and I lile the video today
HOW CAN YOU VOOK 2 SEATS?
This vid is super funny. Just shows how the luxury extras can be just a waste of money. Imagine how people could travel the world if every airline was a Ryanair..mobility in the world would be amazing.
Cut down on the car service and that is a LEGITIMATE Business Class experience for an insane price!
Very cool travel hack
