Ryanair: Business Class Beds and Blowjobs

Overheal

Outlandish, but epic.

The Daily Star wrote:

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has flown into a storm after boasting about low fares and free sex on a new service.

The airline chief told a stunned audience that his Transatlantic business fliers would pay between £3,160 and £3,950 for “beds and blowjobs”.


Answering a question during a whistlestop tour of three airports in Germany, O’Leary, 47, said: “In economy it will be very cheap fares, we say about e10 (£7.90).


“And in business class it will be beds and blowjobs. In business, it will all be free – including the blowjobs.”


His comments shocked Anja Seugling, Ryanair’s sales and marketing manager for Germany, Switzerland and Austria, who was translating his answers.


She began to choke on her glass of water when O’Leary asked: “Surely you have a word for blowjobs in German?”


O’Leary, who has a fiery reputation, then poked fun when told there was no word for “blowjob”, saying: “Terrible sex life in Germany.”


An airline spokesman yesterday confirmed O’Leary’s comments. He said: “The working title for the business class service is ‘Beds and Blowjobs’.”


But one family campaigner stormed: “Whether Mr O’Leary was joking or not, he should not be talking about an airline as if it’s some kind of cheap brothel. Many people will be offended by the coarse remark, especially family people.”


Ryanair will carry 52million passengers on 711 routes across 26 European countries this year.

No fan of Ryanair, but O'Leary's awesome. I'm still looking for that fabled footage of him telling that Sky business reporter that British airlines weren't doing so well because they were run by "useless ****ing Brits." It might be an urban legend in the business community, but I wouldn't put it past him.

Hahaha, what a legend!

haha, brilliant.

or remember the time when aer lingo were discontinuing their flights out of shannon, he ran around with a banner handing out vouchers for ryanair...

Clever, intelligent, funny businessman. A gobsh'te none the less though.

randylonghorn

And in business class it will be beds and blowjobs.

Knowing Ryanair, the blowjobs will be free, but you'll be charged €50 per cc for anything more than 1 cc of spunk! :rolleyes:

In moments like this, I do admire the f*ckhead. Also for those wondering the Germans do have a word for it, it's fairly boring though and just called "der Oralsex". I'm sure there's some slang floating around though.

You all realise of course this is just Ryanair (O'Leary) strategy. Make a really bold claim to get themselves in the limelight if it means massive controvercy, it means massive publicity, and massive free advertisement. Any publicity is good publicity

He's done this type of thing a million times before. free advertisement in every newspaper. free advertisement on boards.ie even! :eek:

I was once at a seminar where he spoke, He also said that if he could have people standing on planes like on buses, hed get rid of all the seats and just have everyone standing. lol

The man's a conman through and through, a very very good one at that.

Overheal

Hey, if he wants to start cheap long haul flights to the east coast he can say anything he wants.

At no point does she begin to choke on her glass of water. In fact she doesn't seem shocked really at all. Nice reporting there Daily Tits.

Also - what the hell's a Family Campaigner??? Why the hell do they have anything to do with an airline looking for some free publicity? Do they just comb the news every day looking for stuff to be offended by?

Shoud that not be:
Fly, come with us?

And I think everyone has missed a vital point.
The blowjobs won't be given by the stewardesses.

However, any woman that want's a cheap ticket for Business Class better bring some lozenges.....

Hail2DaChimp is on ryanair.com booking a flight.

O'Leary can do no wrong, love him or hate him!

Ten euros to America? I'd buy that for a dollar.

Nope. It's not as punny then and I think the pitchers of sexy dames in skimpy flight attendant costumes would be suggestive enough.

'We are surprised that the translator did not find any German word for ‘Blowjobs’. Ryanair’s Linguistic Department will offer one free return flight to a destination of your choice, for travel from October to December (including taxes and charges) to the first Ryanair passenger translating ‘Blowjobs’ into German language”.

He was running Aer Lingus until (iirc) 2005. I think he was speaking about the airline burp in the early 2000s.

That is, if he actually said it at all.

Top stuff from O'Leary once again!

Well, the equivalent verb is "blasen", but there isn't an equivalent noun really. The closest would probably be "Mundfick" or, literally a "mouth ****".

Where do I claim my prize ?

Ah there is yeah. Hes just given two fingers to a lot of business with that one, joke or not. Not to mention what hes just cost the airline in sexual harassment law-suits.


On a lighter note, I laughed.

Sexual harassment lawsuits from whom exactly?

randylonghorn

I'm guessing she means that there may be some punters who prepare a bit too freely in the airport bar before the flight, then think it hilarious to demand their free blowjob from the stewardesses ... and that said staff might then sue their employer on the basis that O'Leary is at least partly responsible.

Where does one book a flight with this airline? :rolleyes: The Ryanair cabin crew can be pretty hot and looking at these stunners (potentially NSFW) in the Ryanair "calendar girls" it will get alot of people (men) hot and bothered. Cabin crew of various airlines have been known to "turn tricks" as they call it on flights which are either long hau or have very little passengers on board. Hasn't anyone ever seen "Mile High" on Sky One? Leary is legendary tbh. Sex sells, even though there will never be such a service probably. Still let me guess €10 to NYC add taxes & charges, surcharges and baggage charges and yer looking at like €300 -one way guessing those Ryanair gougers > low fares me a$$.
