What happens if a needly passenger only has U.S. or UK coins? Or Swiss Francs? Will there be flight attendant parked at the door to supply coins in the correct currency? There will be a Credit Card swipe mechanism on the door. €5 or $6 or £4. -- JohnT |

Ryanair to charge for use of toilets
"Markku Grönroos" skrev i meddelandet ... "Lennart Petersen" kirjoitti ... For my last trip with Ryan, Stockholm-Paris (NYO-BVA) i paid 611 SEK (US$68) but for the return with Air baltic (CDG-ARN) i paid 1704 (US $189) leaving US$ 121 for other things. Like for taxi rides to Nyköping (and further to Skavsta) and from Beauvais to Paris? No. Bus. But for what odd reason should a taxi trip go through Nyköping and not directly to NYO ? |

That was my first thought when I heard that. People are not all going to have the right coins. -- Mary Loomer Oliver (aka Erilar) You can't reason with someone whose first line of argument is that reason doesn't count. --Isaac Asimov Erilar's Cave Annex: http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo* |

Correct, it's not April 1, but it's big free advertising for the airline. Not particularly good advertising though. They'll now be forever etched in my memory as the airline where there's possibly going to be a risk of nearby passengers wetting themselves, or worse, because they can't or don't want to pay to use the toilets. With that in mind, I think I'll travel with someone else, thanks. And maybe , next month they'll announce they've changed their month thus receiving more ad. Backing down from that policy isn't as newsworthy. It won't reach half as many people... -- http://lastcarriage.com/ - Independent Travel |

Nyköping can reside directly en route. |

Oh, those elderly attendants have high cleaniness standards, I agree. UNattended toilets in other countries have been the filthy ones. -- Mary Loomer Oliver (aka Erilar) You can't reason with someone whose first line of argument is that reason doesn't count. --Isaac Asimov Erilar's Cave Annex: http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo* |

Alan S --don't you think that this is some kind of a strategy ploy by Ryan
Air? Of course they have no intent to charge for the inflight restrooms. There is something else behind this announcement. Instead of everyone doing the knee-jerk reaction, we ought to be finding out what he really intends. Perhaps it's government aid or less taxation. Whatever it is, it's commercial in base. And, naturally, they're getting tons of free advertising out of this. In a week or so, they'll just retract their statement. Pat in TX |
