Your ticket entitles you to a seat, even if you don’t pick it yourself. You’ll just likely get stuck with a less desirable seat like a middle seat.
Thank you! It's only a 2h flight so I don't mind
Yeah this is usually a ploy directed at people who travel in a group and want to sit together. For a solo traveler it makes no difference.
It'll just be me, myself, and I so... yay lol
Ryanair no longer overbooks flights and in my experience just assigns you random seats (next to each other if you booked multiple tickets). If in doubt just contact their customer support.
Oh that's very good to hear thank you for linking that!
I'm from Europe so my experiences are mostly from here:
My experience is that if you check in immidiately when you can and being at the airport early enough will be enough to get on. It's usually the late bees that get notified of overbooking issue.
Just check in asap when it becomes available and be at the airport early enough to be at the top of the line during boarding. I always check in 24/48 hours before the flight and have only once been notified of overbooking and possibility of not getting onboard. I immidiately went through security and was waiting for boarding close to the gate - got in.
Edit: also have only once selected seats in advance, didn't do so on Ryanair flight.
Was it recent that you used ryanair and didn't select seats?
Have to admit that no, haven't used Ryanair since 2019 sorry :(
No experience with Ryanair specifically, but airlines do oversell their flights. That said, if you check in as soon as you are able, right at 24 hours before, you should be ok. The people who run into trouble are the ones who wait to check in until they get to the airport.
The ticket reserves your place in the flight, they just want folks to pay more to sit up front or with people that they are traveling with.
