She explained: “I have been gatekeeping this Ryanair hack for two years, but this is how I get good seats on nearly every Ryanair flight without paying any extra fees. I like to call this hack check-in chicken.

“Along with most people flying Ryanair, what I used to do if I wasn’t paying for a seat was to set an alarm for 24 hours before my flight, so that way I could check-in online as soon as it opened. However, at some point about two years ago I worked out how the Ryanair seating allocation works.”
