This, thank God, is not a tragedy, but what could have happened, of course, is interesting. Ryanair is the cheapest carrier, but now who knows what to expect from him.

To be honest, it’s not clear from the post who is right and who is to blame, but I’ll say from the experience of Ryanair’s departure from Berlin: to get to the gate at Schönefeld Airport, you need to arrive 2.5 hours, or maybe 3. Huge queues for air security, and then a long running up and down strange corridors to find your gate. We were still lucky - there was no queue for passport control, although the employee whom we met along the way and, just in case, asked if we were going in the right direction, warned that the queue was at the control. But by our arrival, apparently, it had resolved.
So jokes are bad with low-cost airlines: they save on everything, and therefore you need to arrive very early and be prepared for the fact that already before landing, two flights will begin to change gates, and crowds of tourists will run towards each other and knock down （passed this in Boryspil and in Lisbon）.

We had a similar situation in Barcelona, about a dozen passengers did not have time to board, they were not allowed on board, their luggage was unloaded for two hours, we sat and watched it all from the plane, then flew away. So, apparently, this is a common practice, you should not be late for landing.

The situation is stunned! (((I thought only Aeroflot could do this (two years ago they started practicing it), but it turns out that a bad example is contagious ...

... they were not allowed on board, their luggage was unloaded for two hours ...
Wouldn't it be easier to let 10 passengers on the plane than to unload their luggage for two hours.

Judging by the post above, the passengers did not have time to go through passport control and did not get into the boarding area.
It's unfortunate, but it happens.
In Boryspil, they usually wait, announce the names of passengers 10 times and hold the flight, and then ...

Well, I understand 2-3 people did not have time to land. But 40! 40 people were so clueless that they could not arrive at the landing on time? Kinda unbelievable..

Andrey111, yes, this question always torments me too. All the same, the entire flight will be delayed, it’s easier to let latecomers on board. But as I understand it, airlines carry out these "actions" fundamentally for educational purposes.

I read the article on the camomille link, it says that there were passengers for three flights in one queue. Can it be that different flights are loaded, also different airlines, through 1 gate? If yes, then this is the reason. (But how can they then load all these people onto planes if they are all in a crowd at the exit?) But this, of course, is terrible.
What preventive measures can we, passengers, take?
*arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance?
*run to the gate at breakneck speed to get to the exit among the first?
*buy priority?
*do not fly low-cost?

So it's good that you don't need a visa. And if with a visa, as before? The visa was given for the dates of the trip, and you stayed at the airport. A new ticket costs a fortune now for now, and they won't let you back into the city. Brrr...

1. It’s definitely not about low-cost airlines, this is also done by completely non-budget air carriers.
2. A visa for the dates of the trip is always given with a margin of 1-3 days, precisely in case of cancellations and rescheduling of flights and other force majeure.

Do they leave 40 people at the airport? Through 1 gate three boards are loaded?

Recently I read such a story about some city, also in Germany (I forgot which one). People did not fly away precisely because of the long queue for inspection. I flew from Dortmund in the summer, so they send a message to arrive earlier! than they should. Due to the fact that there is one line and it takes a long time to pass

Through 1 gate they cannot load 3 flights. Passengers have confused the gate with the passport control booth, just as they constantly confuse customs officers and border guards.

This is where the number is astonishing. So many latecomers, it's incomprehensible to the mind. There are people who are late, but it is somehow strange that they all missed one flight.
But, if they are late, then yes, who will compensate them for this.

Apyatka, they were not so much late as they spent time in line. In the case that I described above, there were also a large number of people. This is the fault of the airport, which does not provide such a flow. But, as far as I remember, there were no compensations.

While there is an opinion that these are no latecomers.
From vkontakte:
This month is the second case with low-cost airlines in Berlin, when people were abandoned at the airport. First time - 50 people, yesterday - 40 people, including children. Moreover, people were not late, they passed all the controls, stood at the gate for 1 hour, at this gate they went out to 2 more planes. The exit was closed in front of the people and they stood watching how the passengers of other planes got on and how their luggage was unloaded from their plane. This is Ryan. Flight Berlin-Borispol. The last time there was a conflict with the Whizzers.

Nightmare. I read the article. Conventional psychotherapy shifted the blame from the sick head to the healthy one. There is also about Wizzair as they cynically suggested that passengers arrive at the airport early. K - customer focus.
kolyan_cat some flight may have shifted and because of this, its passengers mixed with the passengers of the next flights, who were supposed to be released to the plane through the same gate.
