The Boarding Card is not actually required by RYA (or any of the choose your own seat airlines), they could easily operate a booking ref system at boarding gate if need be - however its the Airport which requires a Boarding Card to enter the passenger security area

Why not visit the DAA offices each time you forget to print or lose your ticket

Do you really think Aer Lingus would react the same way as RA regarding the mess up over RA taking the wrong boarding pass?

I think we all know the answer to that one!

Why ask so?

It's that lack of basic organisation that lets you moaners down every time.

this always facinates me, with the exception of parents with young kids, what is the mad rush to get on the plane? rushing to sit in a cramped and noisy space, personally i don't get it.

More bizarre is that they sometimes stand and queue for up to an hour before the gates open. Whilst I'm sitting comfortably watching them.
I'm nearly always the last on the plane, but hey, guess what....I always get a seat.

And I find on a regular basis that the middle seat on the very front row will be available, with extra leg room
