@tokyo 14 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Plans to introduce a 'standing area' on planes replacing some rows of seats! Quote: No frills, no seats: Ryanair's latest cost-cutting plan Plans to get rid of seats and introduce pay-toilets by the budget airline will not happen for at least two years, say safety officials Plans by Ryanair to introduce standing room on its aircraft will not happen for at least two years and may never materialise if the airline fails to meet stringent European safety requirements. The budget airline's boss, Michael O'Leary, will talk about his plans to replace 10 rows of seats with a standing area as well as introducing a coin-operated toilet on some planes Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 That looks like fun. But how do you eat your pretend chicken or beef? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I would say they are only for use on short flights where they don't serve anything anyway. Bus of the air. Overbooked - never mind....please move to the back of the plane and grab an overhead dangly strap. Squish up .... that's it. Now hold on for take off! At least it would end the wider seats for big fella's debate once and for all. Standing room for fatties. You can only sit if your bum fits in the seat Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 re.scouser This is an old story, but anyway I believe the boss of Ryanair said something like this about it at the time: "A pound to use the toilet? We might have been taking the piss with that one." Link to post Share on other sites
