Ryanair may charge for toilet use on planes

Has April Fools day come a month early this year, because this has to be a joke!?!?!?

Irish carrier Ryanair, Europe’s largest budget airline, might start charging passengers for using the toilet while flying.

In an interview for the BBC, Ryanair Chief executive Michael O’Leary is quoted as saying “One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in future.”

He said this would not inconvenience passengers travelling without cash. “I don’t think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound.”

Before you add “toilet coin” to your packing list, a spokesman for the airline said in a statement “Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and while this has been discussed internally there are no immediate plans to introduce it.”
