Ryanair Moving Ahead with Pay to Pee Plans

USA Today reports that, according to London's Daily Mail, Ryanair "is working with Boeing to develop coin-operated toilets on 168 of its planes".

Ryanair also plans to reduce the number of toilets on board.

If I ever fly this on air ghetto I will not be paying for loo privileges.
I will however make a contribution in the air sick bag.

Another airline to avoid at all costs.

Odd that they want customers to travel with carry on ONLY as opposed to Spirit that wants to charge for carry-on.

Hoping a speedy Chapter 11 to you all.

Ludicrous. Let's hope this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Whatever, nothing surprises me anymore with the airlines these days.

No toilets on public buses either, which is essentially what RyanAir is.

Thumbs down

I hear that Ruinair pilots are holding a sweepstake as to what's coming next!

Favourites are "pay for" oxygen masks and life jackets.

How would an Irish airline use the US Bankruptcy Code?

this rumor again?! Must only be 6 months since this was last mooted (should be noted FR currently have a sale on).

Won't happen, at least in the UK as having to pay, while in the air, will break any numerous disability laws

I believe that the appropriate protest would be to relieve one's self in the center aisle. If enough customers were to protest in this manner, they would probably backtrack post haste.

Why not? Morons will still fly on this piece of junk airline. They're just testing the limits of the public. Isn't that what "free markets" are all about?

Good luck - with no seat pockets there are no sick bags either! (Although I imagine are kept somewhere else)

I am not a moron for choosing to fly with them on the occasions I have. I had low expectations the first time I flew with them but was quite impressed. The aircraft was very clean and comfortable for the short flight. Every flight I had was early. I knew exactly what was and wasn't included in my ticket (it was made very clear) and was happy to pay for the services I required like drinks and a bag for when I had one. Almost no different to flying most US airlines today.

I would have no hesitation in flying with them again

How did you enjoy flying in and out of rinky-dink strips of grass 60 kilometers outside of major cities?
