Having travelled on the Ryanair Leeds Bradford flight to Malta, I would like to ask Ryanair two particular questions:

Why is there a priority boarding charge when three of the most sought-after seats (50 per cent) on row one were reserved and then taken by able passengers?

Why are children allowed to play on the floor of the centre isle, blocking access to fellow passengers who have to step over them with the risk of falling and injuring the kids and themselves?

While one can understand that some parents are totally irresponsible, one would have expected the cabin crew to use their positions (in addition to their sales patter) and stop such irresponsible behaviour on their flight instead of themselves stepping over the kids as if nothing was wrong!
