Yet Another Insulting Reason To Avoid Flying

Airline considers fee for lavatory use

"Fresh on the heels of one budget airline announcing that it will ask passengers to pay extra to bring carry-on bags on board, another is considering charging them for using the lavatory.
Ryanair, which is based in Dublin, Ireland, and bills itself as "Europe's first and largest low fares airline," is mulling a plan that would require travelers to pay either 1 euro or 1 British pound (about $1.33 or $1.52) for using the bathroom on flights lasting one hour or less.
The plan, titled "Ryanair Cost Saving Proposal," was published in the airline's inflight magazine.
The carrier said it is working with Boeing to develop a coin-operated door release so that when nature calls, passengers would need to deposit the change before being able to use the facilities.
The idea is to encourage people to use restrooms in airport terminals before boarding."


The bean counters really took a risk with this one, knowing beans and all.
But you really have to be concerned, no, terrified, that to sink to a cost cutting measure as demeaning as this, they must have exhausted all other ways of saving money including using the most worn out, cheapest junk to keep the planes in the air.
