Ryanair to have Pay-Per-Pee

[Mildred]

Will take out 2 of 3 toilets and replace with 6 seats.

It only takes one to start the avalanche. I dislike flying now and it looks like it will get worse.

I think Ryanair will just end up peeing customers off, they just think of more ways to get money out of punters. Just charge a fair price and they will get a good return. Otherwise we will all carry on containers to pee in lol.

Holy crap!!! :eek:

[charlsee]

I'd tell this airline to p**s up a rope before I'd fly them!

[cruiserbryce]

wasnt too long ago that we were joking about this...cant believe a company actually thought it would be a good idea...

[Captain Jake]

Wear a Depend whenever flying this airline

[KarinaGW]

Oh...and better yet? It's using a credit card reader for you to pay.... god forbid you don't have plastic...

"Times are hard"

"Our cash is tight"

"You've got no right"

I've heard it all before

"Just this once"

Is once too much

Cause once they've onced

They'll want to once once more

 

I run the only toilet

In this part of town, you see

So, if you've got to go

You've got to go through me

 

It's a privilege to pee

Water's worth its weight

In gold these days

 

No more bathrooms

Like in olden days

You come here and pay a fee

For the privilege to pee

[cruiseawaits]

I bet if everyone just started peeing in their seats, they'd stop the "toilet surcharge" very quickly!!!!

I never pee on a plane anyways, so i am in favor of this. Why should i pay for a service that i never use?

[CrusinAgain]

Never heard of them. I would never fly any plane that charges for this. They should be ashame of themselves - that is called part of doing business.

[Merion_Mom]

Pee on the seat.

[MrPete]

Take another line

Think a little about this... Ryan air's flights are almost all under 1 hour in length. It's not like you are flying trans-atlantic.

 

Although it's not as bad as you think.. it's still a bad idea.

[loobs40]

Can't be bothered with Ryanair any more. I know how to play the game, i.e. no hold luggage, Electron Visa card for payment, but there are just too many extras that will catch you out.

 

I have used them in the past and they have got me from A to B but no more

[English_in_Spain]

I fly frequently between Spain and the UK (2 1/2 hour flight)

 

The 3 airlines I use are Monarch, EasyJet and Ryanair depending on current deals.

 

If Ryanair do this I will no longer fly with them and I am sure none of my friends and neighbours will either.

 

There are a lot of people our age (60+) from the UK who live in Spain and it makes up quite a lot of flights for the low cost airlines.

 

They would be stupid to go down this route.

On our last cruise two of our tablemates were flying them from Barcelona back to Birmingham. That's over two hours, and it's not the longest distance Ryan Air flies. If they were only doing it for flight of less than an hour that would be one thing, but it doesn't say anything about that.

[Cruisenouvelle]

Well... like our moms used to urge us, go to the bathroom before you leave !! In other words, be sure to use the airport restrooms before boarding. I personally would cross this airline off my list if this type of upcharge was implemented.

 

Not a big fan of the pee-in-your-seat school of thought, however....:eek:

[dougp26364]

I say that passengers should revolt by taking adult diapers onboard, filling them with liquid (water will do fine thank you) and leaving them behind for Rynair employee's to clean up! Or maybe unhappy customers could begin sending boxes of adult diapers to Rynair's corporate offices to send a message.

OH MY!!! :eek:

 

Can you just picture it? LOL Ewww!

[aloha43]

It really doesn't matter if the flight is less than 1 hour or 10 hours. When a person has to go, they HAVE to go.

 

The whole thing is just wrong.

 

Boycott Ryanair!!

[MrPete]

OH MY!!! :eek:

Nothing like the smell of Penn Station in a closed-in area for ANY amount of time.

There was an article about this in yesterday's paper. The gist was that while they are talking about it, they have not yet made any decisions. It may have just been a publicity stunt or they may have sent up a trial ballon to get reaction.

 

When you look at it objectively, it could have a real impact on the bottom line (no pun intended;)). Additional revenue seats plus the elimination of the cost of maintaining, cleaning, and servicing the restrooms after every flight. Fleet wide, I bet there is a lot of money to be saved here.

 

Just so long as the cruise ships don't look at this.
