TikTok Video Shows Free Last‑Minute Seat Switch on Ryanair App

Passengers report the trick works because unallocated seats appear closer to departure.

Overview

  • A 13‑second TikTok from LivCityTravels demonstrates changing to better seats in the Ryanair app without paying extra.
  • The clip outlines the path in the app: Manage Booking → Add Extras → Add or Change Seats, then pick from any unallocated options shown.
  • Users say the method takes advantage of seats being released as other passengers check in on the day of travel.
  • Commenters report success up to roughly three hours before boarding and advise avoiding the first six rows and last three rows on half‑full flights.
  • Posts note it may not secure extra‑legroom or entire rows and could become less effective if many travellers try it, with no airline response reported.
