So the predictions in this thread were correct then, it was obvious MOL couldn't resist an opportunity like this!

[Scrooge]

Oh please, it will not happen, honestly I used to like MOL for his brashness, but he is now reaching levels even SRB would never think off going to.

I actually can not see any problem with this!
It is probably safer - less distance to travel before hitting a hard surface.
On short flights many would prefer to spend the hour or less standing or leaning against a support while in cruise.

How many of us spend more than an hour at the bar on VS flights?
What is the problem if people would like the opportunity for a free flight?

I never thought it would come true, but what a joke RyanAIr becomes once again. A free fare? They'll start increasing surcharges to pay for it all. Otherwise how is it cost effective?

Some airports actually pay Ryanair to land passengers.
They get local grants for bringing in business.

I try very hard to avoid even reading about Ryanair due to one totally unacceptable never to be repeated flight! Quite frankly I may as well have been standing up for all the comfort and service I got so its there in all but name already.

Just spotted this on google.

Maybe Ryanair are going to use the Tokyo subway business model with staff employed as pushers to compress as many passengers as possible into the fuselage until it's impossible to fall over anyway and then secure everyone with one huge bungee seatbelt.

COI: Never flown Ryanair and never will.

Remember that MO'L will say almost anything to get press coverage. I reckon if he'd have said that our flights will have a bar area at the back where customers can spend the entire flight, people would think it was a great idea.

I'm not a huge Ryanair fan - I have flown Ryanair about 12 times in the last year, maximum fare I paid, including taxes, check-in fees etc. was 5. It was all completely discretionary travel - they had a special offer, I had a day off. They are fine. You pays your money you take a risk!

Indeed - and as long as I have a breath in my body (and with a codicil in my Will) I will NEVER EVER give him once cent of my money or indeed set foot on one of his, or any other LCC, aircraft.

Ryanair do often offer free flights. This way, they can use the spare capacity that exists on almost every flight to top up the revenue paying passengers.

Yep, this is all it's about for him, as he has openly said, any publicity is good publicity for Ryanair and he does it all the time.

I am amazed that people fall for it - there's a thread on a.net, it's in The Times today, etc.

Isn't the best thing with attention seekers to ignore them?

Well, the media is the biggest attention seeker of them all, so I guess the two go together hand in hand.
