mutley 4,487 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 It just gets better and better :bday: Irish budget airline Ryanair has said it is considering charging passengers for using the toilet while flying. So it could cost a pound to spend a penny :nea: More here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7914542.stm Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

grth_bbtt 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Whats even more stupid is that he says " we are making flying more affordable for people now" :nea: Paying for the loo, is going to make it more affordable ey! Another scam to get a bit more dosh Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd be willing to pay for the privilege if over certain countries... :nea: John Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 just imagine the faces of the attendants when passengers, having been 'caught short' and not willing to pay for the loos, hand in a sickness bag on disembarkation.....i think the idea will get thrown out with the rest of the rubbish from Mr O'Learys office!

mutley 4,487 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Me too Simi, They must make a lot of money from drinks served on-board and I can image people will cut back on these so as not to need the toilet out of principle, good thing too. I would rather RA charge a fair price rather then trying to offer the odd deal at 0.00 plus taxes or 10.00 inc taxes. Even at these prices the average holiday maker will end up paying over Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Do you really think those in the executive offices will care if some low-end employees are being given a ration of s*** by some of the deplaning customers? I suspect not. This is all in aid of being able to publish a ticket price as low as possible, however deceptive and bare bones that is. Ryanair aren't the only ones playing the game either, though they may be out at the far end of the spectrum in their mastery of it. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I agree, they are the masters of advertising and PR too. As it is often said there is no such thing as bad advertising especially if it gets your name remembered! People have short memories and will only think of Ryanair as the low cost carrier (Mistakenly). Ryanair 1 - Public 0 Time for Zzzzz's! Good night all :dance2: Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It won't be a pound - it'll be a euro. Ryanair serves mainly euro countries - ie they have the euro currency. I may be wrong Link to post Share on other sites
