    Interesting. I notice that if I had thought about all this during the booking process, I could have probably saved something like 40 euros by making individual bookings directly from Ryanair.com. This answer suggests the Kiwi guarantee is not all that, so perhaps it would have been worth it to do so. I will consider that for next time.

  • @Revetahw don't forget that if there is any issue, the airline operating the second flight, even if it is the same as the first one, will consider you a no-show if you do not meet the check-in/baggage drop/boarding deadlines, usually cancelling your ticket and often all subsequent segments. You will be on the hook to book a new ticket and pay for it. If you have checked luggage that usually means getting to the check-in/baggage drop desk 1 hour before departure of the second flight, after having deplaned, eventually gone through passport control and reclaimed your bags. Add a lot of buffer.

    @Revetahw Ryanair doesn't cancel remaining legs because they're selling you a bunch of one-way tickets as separate journeys. There are no "remaining legs". And, actually, this is another potential problem for your scheme. If an airline has to cancel your flight before you've left your start location, they can just give you a full refund. Because budget airlines sell you one-way tickets, if your STN-OSL flight gets cancelled, Ryanair can just say "OK, here's your money back. That's the end of our obligations." Hopefully Kiwi covers this.

    Ryanair does not allow reselling of their tickets via third parties. Kiwi booked this on Ryanair’s website by pretending to be you, and is thus actually in breach of Ryanair’s T&Cs. These are basically two different tickets. So you will need pick up and recheck your luggage in Stansted. You will also need to go through immigration and security there. If you miss your second flight you can book another one at your own expense and try to claim it back from Kiwi.

    @KristvanBesien Right, I've been wondering how they manage to pull that off without Ryanair suing them to hell. Kiwi is certainly big enough for Ryanair to notice. Perhaps they have some sort of an agreement where Ryanair tolerates them and gets some extra sales this way.
