Yet another new Pax Charge from Ryan Air Funny especially the last part. But I worry it will give the airlines some new ideas!

No, they require that you buy two seats if you don't fit into one, however they will refund you the second seat if the flight is not full.
Also HL look at the source of that story [:I]

Perhaps she was merely expressing her sublime accordance with the concept? I do not suspect people of her breeding and beauty step foot aboard that company's craft.

Oh good point...or it could be that she does not care because for one the Fat tax would not apply to her and as you say, she would never fly with the riff raff anyways...well accept for LRoM of course, but one does need someone around to carry the luggage.

Oi! Who are you calling riff raff? [:(!]
Just because I can't avoid getting on one of those planes if I want to fly VS out of LGW doesn't make me riff raff [V]
