Many Ryanair passengers will expect a basic experience when flying with the budget airline, which is known for cheap and cheerful tickets for travelling punters.
And while cut backs on checked-in luggage has allowed the Irish-founded company to keep costs low, passengers can sometimes be left completely bewildered when comparing their flight to other providers.
One Ryanair passenger even recently took to Twitter after becoming shocked to discover that the usual seat pocket was missing on his skyward journey.

The MEN reports that Twitter user Type1Tony wrote: “You don’t even get seat pockets in a Ryaniar flight?!” adding a laughing emoji. He accompanied the tweet with a photo of the seat in front of him, which featured safety instructions, a fold out tray - but with the usual pouch missing.
And Ryanair offered a tongue-in-cheek response to the tweet, with the airline jokingly suggested that the passenger should store any belongings in his own pockets instead.
Other Twitter users were soon in on the joke. One user, Richard, added: “You must be able to buy pockets surely as an extra?!” to which Ryanair responded: “We call them pants Richard.”
Another pointed out that it’s actually quite beneficial for passengers as they won’t leave anything behind. The user replied: “Personal items forgotten in the seat pocket: 0.”
Someone else suggested that it helps with keeping the plane clean. Izzet Akif wrote: “Makes it faster for cleaning, which means shorter ground time which means more flights per airplane which means cheaper flights for us all.”
While another user implied that it’s probably a good thing Ryanair doesn’t have pockets. He wrote: “Let’s be honest people only want seat pockets so they can shove sweet wrappers in them.”
