I wonder if some enterprising individual would start selling one of these plastic bottle with a tube attachment thing that astronauts wear in their spacesuits, as an accessory for use on such airlines. I can see some business opportunities hereIs a bathroom an optional extra when you're at 30,000 feet? Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary seems to think so — and says his no-frills airline might charge customers to use its aircrafts' toilets.

Heck, just carry an old glass pickle jar. Keep it on your seat tray. That would set the airline brass straight. :blink:I wonder if some enterprising individual would start selling one of these plastic bottle with a tube attachment thing that astronauts wear in their spacesuits, as an accessory for use on such airlines.

That's just the way that particular operator chooses to work. You can get very very cheap fares if you book early enough, sometimes as low as 1 penny (plus taxes) but they make their money in other ways. Want to be first on the plane? Pay extra, want to use the check in at the airport?, pay extra, want a coffee or sandwich? pay extra, want to check bags?, pay extra.What a concept-paying to use the facilities. You are after all a captive audience, you can't go somewhere else.I certainly wouldn't want to be there when someone is having to dig out cash for their small child to use the bathroom.
I think it may backfire on them if they actually put it into practice.
90 minutes on the plane but you spend 3 hours at the airport just go though security.also don't foget that the plane can sit on the runway for hours in CA while its raining in BOS.This is typical media manipulation by Ryanair, it's something they do all the time.
O'Leary makes an outlandish statement, gains acres of press coverage, airline then judges the the response and then at a later date introduces it, the masses haven been pre-softened by a media who print everything the man says.
So at best, lots of free advertising (all publicity is good publicity, eh?); at worst, pay toilets on board for flights, the vast majority of which are no more than 90 minutes. (Although some, to the Canary Islands are much longer)
" Yet another reason not to fly" RyanAir. Whether they implement this atrocity or not, let me simply state that my one roundtrip( Dublin - Stansted) on RyanAir was the single( actually double) worst airline experience I've had. Under almost no circumstances ( I never say never or I would be tempted) would I fly RyanAir again. If you're going to fly cheaply in the UK & EU I would strongly recommend EasyJet. RyanAir should be airline anathema.yet another reason NOT to fly

Ryanair has been criticised for many aspects of its customer service. The Economist newspaper wrote that Ryanair's "cavalier treatment of passengers" had given Ryanair "a deserved reputation for nastiness" and that the airline "has become a byword for appalling customer service ... and jeering rudeness towards anyone or anything that gets in its way
Think of it as Greyhound with wings!!And then there's Ryanair the Actual Airline that gets you from A to B, cheaply (my rule is never ever pay more than GBP £5 for a flight with Ryanair) and 9/10 on time, with the minimum of glamour or fuss or any semblance that what you are doing is in any way special.
