Ryanair does not treat well families with kids

Who : Ryanair

What : Boarding , On board , Seating Arrangements, Flying with Children

Be aware when travelling with children. Over the years I have used Ryan Air several times fully aware of the trade off between sevice and price. Recently however when we were flying from Nykoping (Stockholm to Ryanair) to Girona we were refused to board first despite flying with our 3 children (0, 2 and 4 years of age). This meant that we ended up stalling the flite for quite a while as the cabin crew tried to shift other passangers around in order for us to be able to sit by the children. On the return flight it was even worse as the cabin crew showed no understanding and we all ended up in differents rows and it was only by luck the seats were fairly close. From a financial perspective, with everything focusing on swift operations I don't see how it is worth the risk of delayed flites, from a passanger perspective I don't think its fair to distribute potentially noisy kids randomly among the other passangers with no one to hush them and from a safety perspective I don't see how they expect to be responsible for 2 year olds seated on their own. Given the above I don't see how they can avoid shifting back to letting families board first, but until they do I will not fly with them any more.
