Ryanair may charge for toilet use on planes

I know the airline industry is struggling to make profits, but charging to use the restroom is ridiculous. All of the cost cutting maneuvers such as reducing staff, charging for baggage, and charging for drinks/food are things that I can accept. Yet, these changes will inevitably lead to charging for almost every little perk or advantage that passengers have. Airlines would be best served by charging a little bit more in the overall far price than ticking these fees on during the flight.

I was in the control room at NBC with the crew of Morning Joe when this news came through. Immediatel after it was broadcasted the producers were told that, in fact, the article is mistaken and that the CEO of RyanAir often exaggerates and says things before they are true. This is not actually a new policy, but a suggestion that was kicked around.

If this actually was initiated I think I would take greater care in actually carrying change....... or maybe a diaper?

EasyJet definitely already charges for tap water... maybe if they charge enough no one will drink anything and then one will have to use the bathroom.
