I agree that this is a good thing, however the Telegraph article is one of the worst cases of the 'selective' use of statistics I have seen in a long time!

people expect way too much for a 1p flight.... RA get blamed for way too much.

I had two return flights from Ryanair lat year and the total bill came to 4p.

Won't they be able to have these offers anymore?

As it says in the article, its all the 'extras' on top of the basic price which is annoying, like checking in your bag, insurance, priority boarding, paying for the ticket with visa, and so it goes on. I'm surprised they haven't put a £1 charge on the toilets yet with another 20p for soap!!!! Perhaps they could charge for an overhead locker, or priority bag pickup!!

Shhhhhhhhhh, you never know who is looking in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Ryanair and always look at the final price of the ticket. Ryanair is needed to enable others to compete and offer cheap flights, long may they reign.
To be fair, it has been possible to get a 1p flight, silly as it may appear. Try getting a 1p bus ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be looking in after midnight tomorrow, but pretty limited from where I live with choice of destinations :mad:

Actually Simon Calder (the travel writer) did mention last year that the airline was thinking of charging for the use of the toilets. I don't think it was on April 1st. !

I saw the plans several months ago

You have to book toilet breaks at time of booking with different rates for "number 1s" and "number 2s". You can book at the airport but they cost double - and you have to go to check-in first before being able to get a slip to be able to book. No pooling is allowed, nor can you carry them over to different flights and whilst you can get a refund for unused breaks the admin pee is £20 per break
