Ryanair considering charging for using the toilet

Quasar

Airlines such as Ryanair will try to squeeze every penny out of their customers after enticing them to book a flight for peanuts.

I'd do my wee and poop on the floor and then say sorry, I can't afford the penny for the loo. Maybe if a few passengers did that, the management will learn a thing of two about customer care. Some things are just part of the service and toilets belong to the most basic of hygiene arrangements.

the toilet charge was a pathetic attempt at publicity, which was quickly backtracked on..

somehow i think the 'loading own luggage' will go the sme way, if only on security grounds.

They're still !!!!!!s at putting on hidden charges. As if anyone goes on holiday without a bag to check in.

The toilet thing isn't going to happen - and I can't see Boeing spending much time on redesigning the plane for O'Loony.

I've no problems with charging more depending on weight though - I reckon you should have a total person and luggage weight and then have to pay if you're over.

I wouldn't be too happy if someones bingo wings were flopping into my very limited space.

Kudos to the man for getting some free publicity out of this, then admitting that it was just a publicity stunt, then getting some more free publicity out of the exact same stunt.

With Ryanair all publicity is good publicity.

That's your choice - not Ryanair's. You don't *have* to check a bag in.

This is where you show yourself to have little knowledge of the airline world.

Ryanair are one of Boeing's biggest customers - witness o'Leary's move to buy 100-ish planes at a time when no-one else was buying after 9/11. Ryanair are *hugely* important to Boeing, and they know it - and if O'Leary wants something done, then you can guarantee that Boeing will try and do it.

Actually, a lot of people who travel on Ryanair just take hand luggage.

If you're going to quote examples I'd at least expect something a bit more recent than 2001.

Can I also take the opportunity to say that you are a complete w***er. It must be fun in Poland for you to sit behind your computer waiting to defend Ryanair, regardless of the query/complaint, always with your usual good grace and humour :rolleyes:.

Then shall we talk about how Ryanair have one of the youngest fleets around, as witnessed by the continual taking up of options on Boeing aircraft?

At least in Poland, we get taught to use language without resorting to swear words or childish insults. It's rather amusing that I appear to have a far stronger command of your language than...you.
