Ryanair Travellers May Need Strong(er) Bladders!

In their latest wheeze Ryanair’s owner/chairman Michael O'Leary has announced to The Independent in London that Ryanair passengers (is that an oxymoron?) may need to tightly clench their thighs on all short-haul flights as the company plans to remove toilets from its planes!

The initial rumours last year were that this supremely ‘customer-friendly’ company wanted to charge £1 ‘per pee’ on board their Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

However, the fresh reports now suggest that the company will simply remove two of the three toilets on board & replace them with up to six seats instead...

So the great news is that not only will it take longer to board but, more importantly, all travellers with full bladders (or worse) will soon need to queue up with the other 188 passengers on board to use just the one remaining toilet.

Gives a somewhat fresh impetus to the commonly-heard riposte, “Goodness, what a crap flight!”

Mr. Michael O'Leary continued, "it would fundamentally lower air fares by about 5% for our passengers - cutting £2 off a typical £40 ticket."

This enterprising & really well-thought out proposal may be just the jump-start needed for a British Airways revival and share price jump…
