Irish budget airline Ryanair is to charge passengers for using the toilet on their flights.  They are going to make their toilets coin-operated, charging one pound or one euro per use.

Their rationale is to fit more seats on the planes by reducing the number of toilets.  According to a Ryanair spokesman:

“By charging for the toilets we are hoping to change passenger behaviour so that they use the bathroom before or after the flight,”

“That will enable us to remove two out of three of the toilets and make way for at least six extra seats.”

I can’t help but think they may get some nasty surprises under their seats and in sick bags – given they cater to the bottom of the market (ie bogans going on holidays).

Also, whats the pricing policy for those wanting to join the mile high club.  Two-for-the-price-of-one?
