Ryanair's hilarious response to honeymooning couple moaning about lack of plane window

Ryanair has teased a newlywed couple who complained about the lack of a window seat on their flight.

Mark Bowe took to social media to moan he didn't have a window beside his seat on the plane to Ibiza, where he and his wife were heading for their honeymoon.

The tourist tweeted: "Off on honeymoon now about to fly into #ibiza for the first time and we just can’t wait to check out the view on the way over… Oh…wait…. Cheers @Ryanair #nowindow #wheresmywindow #someview."

But the meteorologist, from Dublin, Ireland, was somewhat mocked by the budget airline.

The social media employee quoted Mark's tweet, saying: "She’s regretting marrying someone who can’t read the fine print."

The admin then reminded Mark that there is such a thing as "random seat allocation", and then added another withering blow when someone wrote 'Ryanair admin your days are numbered'.

The response was: "Like this marriage".

In the company's Twitter bio it now says "we sell seats, not windows". Someone brought this to Mark's attention telling him "they have absolutely done you in their bio".

Last month, Ryanair offered a wry response to another disgruntled customer who was unable to sit with the rest of his party on his flight.

But the man had chosen the random seat allocation option and Ryanair's social media team sarcastically fired back: "I chose random allocation and I'm angry that we were randomly allocated."

The tourist's whinge split opinion on Twitter, with some backing Ryanair. One social media user offered support to the man, quipping: "No doubt Ryanair would split a couple up if they were the only two on the plane, can't see why Ryanair would choose to tweet this complaint."

But to this, the airline, founded in 1984, dryly declared it was "providing Europe's number one relationship counselling service."
