Has anyone booked an extra seat/item seat for their rucksack on Ryanair?

I'm not planning on doing this but I'm curious to know if anyone has booked an extra seat on Ryanair for their rucksack? Had a search of the forum but didn't spot anything.

Just wondered if anyone had tried? The flight I am looking at is £15 so booking an extra seat would actually work out cheaper than checking the bag - unfortunately I can't fit a bike into a seat so it won't work for me!

Not on Ryan Air. However roughly 40 years ago on a night JAL over-the-pole flight from NYC to Toyko the seat next mine was booked for/occupied by a very large stuffed toy giraffe. Bought at FAO Schwartz, then the most famous US toy store, by the Japanese diplomat sitting across the aisle as a surprise "little souvenir" for his baby son in Osaka.....We all enjoyed a memorable night flight.
 
.... which reminds me of the story of the largish gentleman who booked two economy class tickets so he could enjoy a little more comfort. To his dismay he found the seats were allocated in different rows!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Several years ago I read an article where a flight attendant was commenting about all the different things that passengers would bring on a plane. "People will bring anything. I have seen a number of wedding dresses, paintings and even a tuba."

I happen to be the person who has purchased a number of tickets for a full size tuba for when my son flies with his instrument.

Hi to all,

Now being Irish, I remember a time when it cost me near £400 return Dublin to London with Aer Lingus. BA had a similar fair, I am a defender of Ryanair--but would not like to work for them. You don't fly Ryanair for the welcome but remember that breakfast on Aer Lingus or BA was the most expensive meal you ever had. To book a Ryanair seat you need a passport. Assuming your bag will not have one, you will not get past the booking page. I have the same issue with walking sticks. I reckon it is cheeper to buy them in SJDP rather than pay for them in the hole.

Hi i booked a seat and extra bag for my flight to Madrid,Seat 3 Euro,bag 6 euro, if you dont they put your bag in the hold as you are boarding, i booked the cheapest seat so that i can print my boarding card 60 days in advance, no hassle with my return flight

Ryanair's procedure is actually explained in the link for the wedding dress: you have to enter ITEM SEAT as the Last Name and EXTRA as the First Name for your additional item and the boarding card will be issued in the name of EXTRA ITEM SEAT. Thank you, @Helen1, you have opened a new world of travelling for me. :cool:
