MO'L wants to spice up your flight!

January · 08-11-2011 9:51am #1

The boss of budget airline Ryanair wants to launch a pay-per-view pornography service for passengers to watch during flights, it has been claimed.
Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary said he hopes to launch an app for the airline where travellers can watch sex scenes on their iPads or smartphones while in the air.
The planned service would also allow Ryanair passengers to gamble and play games, as well as watch erotic movies, according to The Sun.
Mr O'Leary told the paper: 'I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices.
'Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?'
Ryanair said the pornography plans would take at least a year to introduce on their flights, as establishing a cost-effective way of having a solid broadband connection on their planes would be a major obstacle.

The airline, which carried 75m passengers last year, raised its guidance despite a 37 per cent surge in jet fuel prices to £778m during the first six months of the year.

It's the people who actually pay for the rag who are stupid. The rag knows any mention of sex sells.

Yep, I can't see them doing it, like charging to go to the toilet, and all the sh1te that O'Leary spouts, its to get the ol publicity, and for Ryanair no publicity is bad publicity. Saves them a fortune on advertising (just like the ads with the pope and sarkosy a few years ago)

Neil Prendeville is in negotiations to become the Ambassador for this in-flight service.

AH is turning me into a passive reader of the Daily Mail.

Like passive smoking but it causes cancer of the intellect instead.

JerryHandbag · 08-11-2011 10:43am

What Michael failed to mention is that he is starring in the movies

foxyboxer · 08-11-2011 11:03am

Cum Fly with Me.

:eek:

GavRedKing · 08-11-2011 12:16pm

Could be worth it if they get the cabin crew to star in the films.

He could save himself money instead of hiring actors.

I'll wait for the live version

"RYANAIR HAS MOVED to deny reports today that it would allow passengers to watch pornography as part of any in-flight entertainment it would introduce."

I presume if such a thing was put into place, some of the plane would be sectioned off as an adult zone or something, you would need to show ID to enter it. Mind you there aint much room as there is.
