    seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because Ryanair
    is a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
    not entitled to change flights or seek a refund.
 2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats
    available for passengers.
 3. Represents the number of initial seat sales sold via the Ryanair internet
    site as a percentage of total initial seat sales. Initial seat sales exclude
    changed and amended seat sales.
