Ryanair Has gone SUPER cheap. They Have Put these things in development: A Fat FEE, Standing Room Harnesses, Bar Stool seats, and A Bathroom Coin slot! I think They have thrown Safety and Comfort out the window!

Well, Ryanair is always looking for opportunities to explode people....

anyways, they are not the only airline. Spring Airlines in China has been in discussions with Airbus over the same thing and they mentioned that it would allow for 40% increase in capacity.

Anyways, we will see how this goes.

Well it is something that you could expect from super low cost carriers like Ryanair and Easyjet. In USA we got more friendly low-cost carriers like JetBlue and Virgin America, and some not so adorable like Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Airlines. It is really ridiculous that they charge for using the toilet, but people like to choose this airlines (as most of the times is the only option due to some airlines ceasing service due to competition). It wouldn't be surprising if they replace the toilet with a hole with coin slot.

I dont really see peoples problem with ryanair, sure the service is bad but tell me how much did you pay for for that ticket about 5 euro? Ryanair may not have the class of the larger airlines but thats not the goal if you look at there full route map you will see that they fly to almost of every airport in Europe they connect the small airports to larger ones for a very small price. The US "Low Cost Carriers" may have better service but the price gap is unreal.

I compared prices on two routes with the same distance and the same sized cities,
Jetblue: JRK - ORD | Ryanair: DUB - MAD

Here's what happened:


I really do not need to say more do I?

Lol, I read a statement about Ryan Air saying they will never charge for the loo as the market they are in is substantially Stag-Do's and party goers... Who will not hesitate to urinate in the aisles... Michael O'Leary just puts it out there, why? Publicity.

There is after all, no such think as bad publicity... I mean look, were talking about them?
