How to book child on Ryanair flight?

A child (2-11 years) or teen (12-15 years) cannot be added to an accompanying adult's booking online. Instead, you'll need to purchase an additional full-fare adult ticket and once you have made the booking, contact us via the chat function on our website so we can link the two bookings and change their passenger type.

Seats on Ryanair flights are not allocated, and you definitely cannot pre-book seats. Getting to the airport early will make no difference to where you get to sit. You can pay extra for priority boarding which enables you to be in the first batch of passengers to scramble for seats.
