Ryanair – the inventive airline.
Irish budget airline Ryanair has always been at the cutting edge of providing cheap travel, and some of its cost-cutting attempts have been beyond belief, however they have now surpassed themselves.

They have suggested charging for using the toilets on board, they have threatened to levy a charge on passengers who they deem to be overweight, and now they are said to be in negotiation with air safety people about letting people STAND during a flight! The old joke about the cheapest seat being on the wing might not be so far-fetched after all.

Stand?! That’s new for me. I use Ryanair many times per year, sometimes they have tickets even without taxes. Hmm… I was just planning to write about cheap transportation, Ryanair is going to be definitely recommended! I don’t love it, but we have to thank them for low prices that other airlines are giving us, too.

Charging for the toilets eh. Guess they wont be too surprised when someone leaves a steaming pudding on the floor at the back of the plane

I flew ryanair a few years ago from London to Dublin and it was budget enough then. This sounds ridiculous.
