Pay toilets? Bring it on, I don’t mind. Most Ryanair flights are less than 2 hours anyways. That will teach us to visit the toilet before take off and that way the airplane has to carry less s#$% in the sky. Think of the energy that we could save that way!
Don’t like the idea? No prob, don’t fly Ryanair. There are tons of other options out there!
I guess the phrase “spend a penny” will have to be changed to “spend a pound” – for those of you too young to know – it use to cost a penny to use the toilet in GB. In the States – the ladies stalls use to cost between 10c and 25 c before that was done away with on complaints that men did not have to pay to use the bathroom but women did.
I have not flown Ryan Air – not gonna start now – but should I have to – will be sure to wear a couple of “Depends” just in case!
When will Ryan air also charge for a actual seat to sit in – and put in a standing room section only?
This is a perfect example of someone who is successful but not happy. The purpose is to enjoy what you are doing and becoming wealthy by it. Perhaps a few quotes are soundbites but it’s obvious that the man is not a happy person.

They have two choices – pick up the poop from the bowl or the aisle – either way, its coming like it or not
The third or fourth small child to pee on a seat because they didn’t have a pound coin handy will bring this crashing down if it ever happens.
They had to be joking. NO WAY. That’s crazy. If people don’t have the right change there is going to be war. What If someone gets sick and has to make a mad dash to the bathroom. Do they want to clean that up????? What next?
Doesn’t anybody think Mr. O’Leary was speaking tongue-in-cheek?
This is exactly why O’Leary makes these comments: His airline is in the news again, frontpages and all. This is what he calls free publicity, and isn’t he right? He receives tons of it. Not tongue in cheek, tongue pointed towards competitors, as far out of his mouth as possible. Oops I did it again …
I have one question: If I have no cone and have to go I will use the Kitchen or ail.

We flew Ryann Air this summer from Dublin To Co. Kerry and were RIPPED OFF by this crooked airline for checked baggage. Our tickets cost $300 Euro for 5 people, $60 a piece for a one way ticket including what we paid for baggage, once we were checking in for the flight they sad our baggage was too heavy and proceeded to charge us an additional $1200 Euro to cover it!!!!!! Outrageous, no one to complain too and we threatened not to pay the credit card bill. I was planning on going on talk radio in Ireland, but it fell through. The Irish are totally embarrassed about this guy and his company. THEY RIP YOU OFF AND I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN. By the way we traveled to and from Dublin on Aer Lingus and they did not charge us for the baggage at all. Had we been thinking clearly we should have hired a Limo to drive us the 5 hours, it would have been cheaper. So please tell all do not fly this awful airline.
O’LEARY, [blank] off.
