Ryanair: Business Class Beds and Blowjobs

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.....

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

    Cant stand ryanair but he is more interesting than 99.9% of the usual bland lame business leaders out there.

    '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”.
