Ryan Air could charge for going to the loo

The budget airline Ryan Airline may not have been joking about thinking about charging their customers for using the loo on board the plane.

Idea behind this plan is not to make money from desperate travellers, but it is thought that buy introducing the charge less travellers will use the loos and therefore Ryan Air will able to remove some of them from the planes and install more seats.

It is estimated that on a Boeing 737-800 plane, two of the three loos could be removed and six seats put into the craft, which means more money for the airline.

Passengers will be encouraged to “Go” before getting their flights; otherwise, they could be faced with a charge of anything between £1 to £1.60 for the privilege.
