They won't do this.

Their plan is actually to get everyone talking about them. Same old, same old. Works every time.

What are they up to now? Putting roof racks on the planes or whats the story?

Sing another tune AH

That'd make me a lot less likely to use Ryanair for anything other than flying to Britain.

galwayrush

Wonder if there will be a touching the cloth charge ?

I suppose when you think theres no jacks on a Dublin bus and you probably spend twice as long traveling on one of those than on a typical Ryanair flight...probably makes sense...the more I think of it the more it seems like genius!

Genius marketing strategy!, I was in the states and it was on the news there that Ryanair were considering standing room on planes, and charging for toilets. Its hilarious, they keep coming out with the same stories every few years, and the media keep reporting it, and people keep talking about it. Worth more than any TV ad.

Ryanair should try coming up with ridiculous suggestions about how far they would go to cut costs. It would create loads of free advertising and remind everyone how FCUKING CHEAP RYANAiR IS.

I can't believe that people still actually believe they would do this, and that the media still report on it!
It's all a quest for free PR.

2011 want their news back!

Thing is, while they may have lead the way initially, they're often more expensive than Aer Lingus now and they fly into less convient airports.

This is a better airline story.

Vietnamese officials have fined a budget airline for having beauty contestants in bikini-tops dance aboard a plane without authorisation, state-run media has reported.

And here's the shocking footage of the vileness.

Typical O'Leary publicity stunt. It's illegal under IAA regulations to have no tolilet facilities on an commercial airplane.

That's probably why they want to cut it from 3 to 2.

No biggie really, I never use the jax on Ryanair anyway. Mainly as I would only book Ryanair if every other plane out of hell had exploded. If I want to run for a seat when the starter pistol is fired, I'll play musical chairs with the kids. I do like Michael O'Leary though, had a coffee with him once. Brilliant businesman, but I hate his airline.

Cutting the jacks from 3 to 2 is one thing - getting rid of them altogether is another.

Plenty of people with bowel issues need to use the loo in flight, as do young children and nervous flyers who might have had a few drinks as "Dutch courage" before boarding the flight.

I vote we stop talking about the pr1ck fooking more publicity for them

They're suggesting cutting it to one - and adding 6 seats. Makes sense, for short haul, is really no biggie. I've taken a slash once on a plane, usually just get the head down and have a snooze. If you were on a 4 hour flight, you might have to queue a bit, but sure, how bad. Presumably you queued for the flight in the first place without invoulentarily dropping a log on the lino.

Thing is, while Aer Lingus fly into more convenient airports and sometimes can be less expensive than Ryanair they are much much closer to yet another bankruptcy. I'm always scared to book something with Aer Lingus much in advance as they just might go bust before date of my trip arrive. :rolleyes:

Some of their short haul flights are faster than a dublin bus journey. Cutting down to 1 toilet shouldn't be too bad. On longer flights it'd be nasty.
