Why is my seat being assigned at the gate?

There are a few reasons why an airline might assign seats at the gate. One reason is that they may not know the exact number of passengers who will be on the flight until the day of the flight.

Why does my Ryanair boarding pass say seat assigned at gate?

As someone else has already said, it means the obvious — that you don't have an assigned seat yet, and an agent will assign it at the gate. I recommend you take that quite literally — get your seat assignment at the gate, not at the check-in counter.

Are seats allocated at online check in?

Can I check-in without selecting seats?

Though it might sound scary, there's one weird trick airlines don't want you to know: You don't have to select a seat.
