He didn't pay the "be inside the plane" Sur charge.

    This sounds a lot like a repeat of Southwest 1380.

    Jesus. I came here to joke about him being charged a fee for early disembarkment, but this must have been genuinely traumatising. I hope the poor couple recover in good time, and I hope Ryanair pay a comfortable settlement.

    This is why you should buckle your seatbelts on flight.

    “In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen, which departed Thessaloniki at 9.53am local time this morning.”

    Lol I would hope so. But how big are the windows on that plane? The ones I've seen I'd never get my head through, forget my body

    I’m glad the guy is still around.

    This is RyanAir. That's an extra fee.

    He's lucky that turbine blade didn't hit him on its way into the plane. No way you could survive a hit like that.

    Of course it was RyanAir...

    Did Ryanair make him pay extra for the "experience ”?

    There is no way on earth a grown person fits through one of these tiny windows in one piece.

    They fit it the pressure difference is high enough

    The pressure differential starts the process, but I think the real problems start if some part of the person gets outside the plane and gets caught in the slipstream. Then you're fighting a mutiple hundred mile per hour wind that's trying to pull you through a gap that's too small.

    It can't be that bad. Sticking your head out the cockpit window is standard procedure if the window is obscured on Boeing aircraft.

    Of course, the fuselage is not designed for that sort of thing around the passenger windows, so it wouldn't be quite as chill as in this video.

    Note that in the video they state this can only be done at a safe speed and altitude, with the plane depresurised, and only during takeoff. They also state that the shape of the fuselage is designed to push airflow away from the cockpit side windows. None of this holds is a passenger cabin window fails at cruising altitude and speed.
