    Beat me to it. Do we know for sure the soap was empty in the (2) toilets at the back?

    No soap in any of the toilets after 30 minutes in the flight.

    If the airline cancelled the flight because of lack of soap (which may or may not have been antibacterial anyway) Im sure you would have kicked up a fuss about a silly reason to cancel the flight.

    Seriously now...Who suggested cancelling the flight? It's not that we were in the middle of the desert. Re-stocking happened normally. Am I the only one seeing that Ryanair should have soap and toilet paper as a priority in restocking over paninis and teas? Or to see that it's unacceptable for them to DECLINE restocking when asked by the crew considering it as non-important?

    If Ryanair is like Easyjet and many other airlines, the crew will have anti-bacteria hand liquid in the forward galley. I'm sure this is used when necessary by crew. Cabin crew on any airline won't be going into the toilets to wash hands before starting catering service.

    I have been on a few EZY flights when one of the toilets has been inoperable. Also on a Virgin Atlantic flight when all 5 toilets down one side of the aircraft were also out of service due to lack of water. In the past all might have called ground support to have these things fixed, or in your case waited around for more liquid soap to be delivered to the aircraft, but airlines are now delay adverse given the potential high costs of delaying flights with passenger compensation.

    Always worth carrying your own small bottle of anti-bacteria gel in your cabin baggage.

    It's not Ryanair that restock the plane, it's a handling agent (Swissport?).

    If the agent does not have any soap in stock what do you suggest they do? I doubt very much that they said no for the fun of it.

    Hello to all -
    I would just like to share my Ryanair story, which I believe beats the company's low point.
    I've read many stories about Ryanair and my belief is that your belief is wrong.

    I would be a lot more concerned if they run out of beer.

    I hope that you contacted Environmental Health responsible for East Midlands airport. Serving food under these circumstances would not have been allowed.
