Absolutely! Call it a business package, charge £30+ for it and bundle in well policed priority boarding, access to a BAA or whatever lounge and priority luggage (not that baggage handlers at UK airports respect this). There are plenty of ways to get extra bits of money out of people for things they value but few of the LCCs seem to exploit this simple fact of human nature.
