Ryanair considers charging passengers to use lavatories

I wonder if you pay a fee at the time of making a booking you can guarantee use of the toilet at a time of your choosing. The last time I flew steerage (many, many years ago) there was a long queue to have a slash. The time people spent in the queue was comparable with the duration of some short –haul flights. Maybe there is an opportunity to sell in the secondary market those options on use of the loo?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

There are excellent airlines, good airlines, budget airlines and then there is Ryanair. I personally do not like Ryanair or O'Leary one bit and would never fly with them.Comment

Pi(key) in the sky suggestion.
I think they should combine this with their onboard scratchcards, sales of which would hit the roof if they made them toilet related. Perhaps they should call them Scratch n' P.ss.
Less than three in a row - sorry, you've got to cross your legs or chip in another pound for the next scratchcard.
A trio of urinals - good luck to yis sir, whizz away. Match three stools to be able to coil one, three sets of cherries, sorry to hear about the Johnny Giles.
Then charge the feckers for Andrex, or they can use the scratchcard for nothing.Comment

You couldn't make it up!
Ryanair really do deserve to lose all their customers.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

good grief! whatever next?
"Sorry sir you must return to your seat the captain has switched on the seatbelt sign!" - "Nope i've paid my £1 now I'm entitled to spend my penny"
"Does anyone have change for £10?"
"Can I pay by American Express?"
"I've connected from a long flight from Beijing and my agent booked me on this flight to Dublin - this flight is worse than a domestic chinese flight!"
and....
"The crew will shortly be walking down the aisle offering priority disembarking cards - these are remarkably good value at £10 each. Any passengers not needing one of these should remain seated until the priority passengers have disembarked"
"The crew will shortly be walking down the aisel offering hold baggage pick up cards - you will need one of these to collect your bags at the baggage belt. They are remarkably good value at £7.50 per bag. Any passengers not needing one of these are invited to pick up their bags at the bottom of the aircraft and can lug them through the terminal at their leisure".
At this rate you would have to be paid to buy the ticket in the first placeThis default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

There was a programme on the box about EasyCruise the other night. Have a look at their web site, the Spartan cabins, the lack of food and drink. It's worse than a floating prison.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Yesterday Her Ladyship & her friend were saying this is a sexist policy since there are times in the month when a needs to use the toilet. Also, those who have had children cannot necessarily wait until the 'plane has landed. Therefore, it discriminates against women.
When they had quite finished I said "May I say one word? 'Prostate'."
Going before you embark might be good enough for you, TimberWolf. But there are many, many others for whom that is not enough. You'll find out. In time.
