Ryanair has issued a "please note" as it urges passengers to stop wearing a particular item while on board.

Ryanair, which operates from numerous UK airports including Belfast, Birmingham and Manchester, is a firm favourite among British holidaymakers and tourists throughout the summer months.

With Easter now behind us and focus turning to the warmer months ahead, the budget airline has released an important update for travellers. It stated: "Please note: Passengers do not look cool wearing sunglasses on board."

Ryanair competes with Jet2, Easyjet and TUI, alongside the likes of British Airways, Wizz Air, Lufthansa and other budget and mid-range domestic and international operators.

Responding to the announcement, one holidaymaker commented: "I have never understand why airlines don't first board a plane, from the seats in the back. It will be a lot quicker boarding."

Another traveller posted online: "No mess with handluggage etc. Why would anyone sit in the plane longer than necessary? Because you have 'priority boarding.'"

A further passenger stated: "The biggest blight on most flights is "Carry on Luggage". It slows down the whole boarding process as well as the exit procedure.

"Passengers at the front half of the aircraft having to put their luggage in the back half of the aircraft causing chaos when landing. Especially as the numpties who insist on standing immediately on touch down, and block the route to your bag."

One amused commenter laughed: "It'll come as a blow to Tom Cruise - I guess he'll be cancelling all his Ryanair bookings then," referring to Ryanair's post featuring a snap of the Hollywood star sporting sunglasses as Maverick in Top Gun.

"Gotta shield our eyes from that highlighter-yellow cabin," another holidaymaker quipped on social media.

"Looking at Ryanair surroundings requires a filter I'm afraid," a further passenger chuckled in response to the Facebook post.

Another weighed in with: "If it's good enough for the driver, it's good enough for the passengers.

"You dont look cool wearing them in youre house either.....," came yet another response.

This follows our recently published rundown of items Ryanair has now prohibited travellers from packing in their suitcases and hand luggage.

Among the banned items are guns, firearms and other devices that discharge projectiles. Devices capable of, or appearing capable of, causing serious injury by discharging a projectile are also included on the list.
