Ryanair makes savage dig at expense of university student

A student has gone viral after becoming the latest victim of Ryanair's savage social media team. Noah Ellis flew with the budget airline as he and ten friends made their way to the Polish city of Krakow for a getaway on Thursday (June 29).

But the flight was far from comfortable for the 20-year-old student, who is 6ft 6in tall, as he tweeted the official Ryanair Twitter account shortly before takeoff to express his discomfort. Alongside a photograph of himself wedged in the seat, Noah asked: "Please can there be bigger seats without paying 20 quid?"

After landing in Poland, Noah discovered that Ryanair had replied to his gripe by simply cutting his head out of the photo and pasting it on an image of a child in a booster seat, reports the Manchester Evening News (MEN). The savage reply has been viewed 1.5 million times so far, and has been liked by nearly 9,000 Twitter users.
