Don't puke on Ryanair, whatever you do

etymon · 05-07-2010 9:44pm #1

My cousin was on a flight to UK at the weekend and the poor fella behind her was ill due to all the turbulence.
He informed the air hostess that he was going to be sick and asked for a sick bag and they said they didn't 'do' them! Cutting costs and that.
He proceeded to be sick all over himself and the only 'assistance' he got was the air hostess giving out to him for getting some on the seat!
Won't stop me flying with them though - will just bring my own sick bag. Or try to get as much as I can on the seat, maybe.

Was he unable to walk to the toilet like a grown up?

bluto63 · 05-07-2010 9:47pm

Or how about just go to the toilet?

EDIT: Damn you MagicMarker!

easyeason3 · 05-07-2010 9:47pm

They still have toilets on Ryanair don't they?

etymon · 05-07-2010 9:49pm

turbulence = toilet closed. and air hostess scarpered back to her seat saying she couldn't be walking around in turbulence when he first asked for help.

Korvanica · 05-07-2010 9:49pm

ill join in too on the toilet thing, what about the toilet?

feck

CreepingDeath · 05-07-2010 9:49pm

I thought you were going to say that Ryan Air introduced a soiling charge just like taxis.

Unique User Name · 05-07-2010 9:49pm

Ryanair are a**es. I had a danger **** on a flight once and when I asked for a bag for this they didn't have one either. Now thats what I call a sticky situation.

alwaysadub · 05-07-2010 9:50pm

Surprised they didn't ask him to clean it up himself or charge him for the cleaning knowing Ryanair!!

yeah, moral of the story... bring your own bodily fluid containers
below 100ml capacity of course

revz · 05-07-2010 9:51pm

he should've chased the air hostess down the aisle with a stream of puke flying towards her for some in-flight entertainment

Arnold Layne · 05-07-2010 9:52pm

Is there not a pocket behind each seat where he could have got sick? Maybe in his carry on case, but then the weight might have exceeded the allowance?

etymon · 05-07-2010 9:56pm

know for a fact that Ryanair don't do pouches. the back of the seats are flat so the cabin crew have less to clean = quick turnaround. there is a massive yellow scratchcard ad on the back of the seat you could maybe wipe your drool with?

Elliemental · 05-07-2010 9:59pm

If there is turbulance, you have to remain seated with your belt on. Thats' more than likely why he couldn't get to the toilet. Anyway, poor bloke. How embarassing. I guess they'll be billing him for the clean up. But then, if they do that, they could use the money to get a few sick bags. I mean, how expensive can they be?

weeder · 05-07-2010 9:59pm

sit in outside seat. get sick over side of seat into the aisle. you walk away clean.

Blazer · 05-07-2010 10:11pm

what an idiot..should have gotten sick on the guy/gal next to him

pebbles21 · 05-07-2010 10:16pm

Should have got sick in his handbag cos hes a big womans blouse if he gets travel sickness

I was on a Ryanair flight where a woman did just that, except it was into the back of the head of the guy sitting in front of her.
We saw him wandering around the baggage hall later with vomit in his hair and all down his back, but pooling at his waistband. A hell of a lot of Febreze was going to be needed there.

In future barf into a stamped addressed envelope and foreward it: FAO Michael O'Leary, Ryanair Corporate Head Office. Dublin Airport. Co. Dublin. Ireland.

zuroph · 05-07-2010 10:19pm

Ryanair do those tiny little bags.

They're €79 and made by samsonite. Now that's sick.

Thats not fair. The crew would never let someone get out of their seat in the turbulence.

one plus for using ryanair, no alloacated seat numbers, they wouldn't be able to confirm who was sitting in the soiled seat.

Danbo! · 05-07-2010 11:08pm

He should have opened the window

05-07-2010 11:26pm

I'd just say nothing and puke between my legs.. Then maybe find another seat after turbulence if there's room or be first out of seat when landed. No seat numbers ftw.

dont be silly, he should have asked the pilot to pull over so he could open the door and get sick outside

:pac::pac:

Ryanair seats don't have those pockets to save money, safety instructions are stuck to the seat in front of you.

markok84 · 06-07-2010 12:21am

serves him right for swamping 10 pints of Guinness before he got onto the plane.

you obviously don't understand what ryanair is

'danger ****' - fantastic

Moral of the story: If you would like to be treated like a human being, pay the Human Being Surcharge and fly Aer Lingus.

falan · 12-07-2010 12:14am

I would rather walk than fly with Ryanair tbh...

Latchy · 12-07-2010 12:30am

I flew out from UK to Fortunventura on 30 june with Ryanair returning last wednesday night and compared to some , it was one of the more pleasent Ryanair trips I have made in recent years although I'm all to aware of the grief people can sometimes have flying with them .

It being Ryanair, it would've been the same - sit there and somehow deal with it. What is it with people being sick on Ryanair flights so often? Never experienced anything like that on other flights with other airlines.

I was on a Ryanair flight last week and one of our group was feeling a little sick so we asked for a sickbag. Air hostess gave us one, no quibbles. In fairness it makes sense to give them out, what is cheaper and quicker a small paper bag or delaying the turnaround time of an aircraft?

yoshytoshy · 12-07-2010 1:09am

Never noticed anyone getting sick myself ,as long as the yoke lands were it's suppose to ,I don't care I haven't got wings myself.

MistyCheese · 12-07-2010 1:16am

I would rather pay Aer Lingus €100 for a flight to London than pay Ryanair €1 for the same trip.

ScumLord · 12-07-2010 1:23am

He's a bit of a tool to get sick on himself, if they told me there was no sick bag I would have said all right so and spewed in the isle. If they won't supply sick bags then they will have to deal with the sick simple as that. They could try to stop you if they like but then you can just get sick on them and that should get the staff complaining back to management. Nothing would give me more satisfaction than to get sick on one of them in that situation.

Who the fúck gets travel sick past the age of 5?! Even then it only happens when the old man drives way too fast on long journeys. Guy deserves to be covered in spew, maybe next time he goes on a journey it will teach him not to call for Huey.

I worked with stena on the fast ferry for 9 summers til i got a permanent teaching job. It was always the men who were travel sick!!!! And the "hard GAA" men were the worst! Oh the memories!!!

If you are someone who gets "travel sick" then the speed of the vehicle can have a profound effect. I remember (vividly) being sick as a dog on a cruise ship at the age of 3, on the return journey we sailed on a fast ship, I wes fine on the fast ship.

How much do Taxi's charge for cleaning up ?

€35 I think.

I asked for a sick bag on Ryanair there 2 weeks ago and got one so maybe they were just out?

Locker10a · 12-07-2010 2:54am

this happenen on 1 of my flights 2 ! I wasent sick but some woman! There was quite a bit of turblence and no sick bag in the seat pocket so 1 of the cabin crew got out of her seat and did her best to reach the woman without falling, she gave her a bin bag thing as it was the last flight of the day and there were very few sick bags left! The crew member was very kind to the lady regulary checking on her :rolleyes:
This was on Aer Lingus

sdanseo · 12-07-2010 6:30am

€140 in a taxi these days. Not too unfair when you think about it, cab could be off the road for a day with the smell.

I can just see the MOL press release now - "if you feel the urge to throw up on one of our flights, please inform the flight attendant who will be happy to take the €140 soiling charge from you by cash, cheque or Laser card"

That's pretty stupid considering it's a 40min flight. I use Ryanair for football and consider it like a sort of knacker bus I'm forced to get.

Nijmegen · 12-07-2010 8:55am

Everyone who flies Ryanair likes to complain, but at the end of the day, their prices beat their service.

Stop complaining and fly Aer Lingus if you don't like it.

Brendog · 12-07-2010 8:59am

Why didn't he just swallow it down....

it'd be better than the food they serve anyway

Minstrel27 · 12-07-2010 9:08am

The fanfare they play for arriving on time almost makes me sick. Wow you arrived on time. Big ****ing deal.

Don't puke on Ryanair, whatever you do
