Ryanair considers charging passengers to use lavatories

[Sysman]

Why don't people go before they embark?

One time going through Heathrow, due to building alterations there were no toilets in the departure lounge. I had to go through the X-ray stuff again just to go.

I've got a solution to the Ryanair toilet problem.

Just attach a catheter before you fly

I would rather pay the pound than have a tube shoved up my jap's eye to be honest, but each to their own.

...
"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"

That brings up another thing that irks me. I hate it when they board/disembark the whole plane through first class. We pay serious money to avoid the plebs in steerage and don’t want noisy, smelly hordes disturbing us.

I can see the "Law of Unintended Consequences" applying itself here.

More people will use the facilities at the airport, granted.

However, sales of on-board drinks will plummet, because many people will be too scared to get caught short.

Hence, what they "may" gain in toilet revenue (£1 a pop) will be lost in alcohol/softdrink/other beverage revenue.

Then when some people stop hydrating, and sickeness ensures, Ryan Air are setting themselves up for all sorts of trouble...

All this announcement has done is ensure them plenty of free publicity.

They say there is no such thing as "bad" publicity, but this is taking the pee.

well they are getting hammered in the press today!

I guess as he hedged his bets on Fuel at like $140 wasnt it last year he needs to make his cash some how!...that alone must have cost them MILLIONS

Or not, this indeed being the problem.



No wonder it's called cattle class. I wonder how bad it can get?

An excellent idea! You should send that into Ryanair.....

Not me mate!

Anyway here is another one....

"All passengers for flight Ryanair nnnn to blah blah are invited to surrender their passports / id cards / driving licences for safekeeping during the flight. These important documents will be kept in a crashproof, waterproof, fireproof box. Your documents will be returned to you upon payment of a fee of £30 per document which includes free priority disembarking entitlement."

tea, coffee and alcohol are diuretics - I wonder what most people drink on a Ryanair flight?
