    seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because Ryanair
    is generally a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show
    customer is generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund.
    Earned seats also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to
    Ryanair staff for business travel.
 2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats
    available for passengers.
