What are Ryanair seats like?

Seats – As expected, the seats were small. I've flown with Ryanair a number of times before so I knew what to expect, but at 17? wide with a pitch of 30”, it was a little tighter than I remember. In terms of legroom, I had space to spare around my knees, but no room to stretch out my legs.
