According to the Belfast Telegraph Ryanair are going to go ahead with this.

Ryanair say that they will “encourage passengers to use toilet facilities in airport terminals before boarding”; presumably while screwing the same airports over fees.

Quite frankly, if I can avoid it I don't use any of the facilities on board a short haul flight. I suppose it was well drilled into me as a child to "go" before I left the house and that has extended to before I board a flight. :D

I like the idea of the "front of line" pass though.

Toilet supplies - 25p per sheet at check in, 20p per sheet if ordered online.

Please note you will be given your pre-purchased sheets with your boarding pass - no additional supplies will be available during the flight. ):

Pay your pound and stay there. More leg room and a private cabin.

No they have this covered - the automatic door opens after 5 mins, no returns within 15 mins!

I do, because other airlines have a horrible habit of latching on to their "ideas"...

Say what you will about Ryanair but they have just announced an increase in profit forecast to 310M Euro for last year. I cannot think of another airline that can match that with exception of Southwest maybe.

The worlds larget scheduled airline has a business model that works. Fact

I totally agree. I hate everything about Ryanair, their whole set up is not something that I personally like, but you have to hand it to them and MOL (again, someone I don't like).

I guess the proof it always in the pudding, and whilst people are prepared to pay for the 'extras', whether that be by not having a choice or not, why should FR stop doing it their way?
