Pay to Poo

As airlines consider new ways to make money from a captive audience, watch your sphincters, toilets are next?

That new idea was floated by Irish airline Ryanair.

Michael O'Leary suggested that future passengers on his no-frills airline might be obliged to insert a British pound coin before they gain access to in-flight relief.
And nobody is sure if he was serious or joking, not even his own staff.

After all, O'Leary pioneered charging airline customers to check bags, to use a check-in desk and to use a credit or debit card to make an online booking.

His own chief spokesman said O'Leary often speaks tongue in cheek -- but the spokesman also defended the idea of charging for a toilet as part of a logical trend.

Expect to have exact, Foreign coins, or prepare to show them your real feelings by buying a 50 cent barf bag.
