The budget airline have announced that toilet facilities are to become coin-operated, accepting either a pound coin or a one euro coin. Some toilets will be completely removed to make way for extra seats on board some aircraft.
On some flights, this could result in excess of 160 passengers with access to one toilet. A spokesman for Ryanair explained that the move was to try encourage passengers to use the toilets before they embarked, thus making it possible to create extra seats on board. The idea was first bandied about last year, but many dismissed it as a public relations stunt.
Another American budget airline is considering charging for overhead lockers, if passengers bags are too large to fit underneath their seats.It may seem penny pinching, but when the idea is considered as a whole-the extra revenue would add up.There would be extra paying seats on board, and less toilet facilities would need servicing.
It is thought that other airlines may follow suit, but will wait and see how the changes are received at Ryanair
