Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 PASSENGERS TO SUGGEST NEXT DISCRETIONARY CHARGE €1,000 CASH PRIZE FOR BEST SUGGESTION Submit your ideas by email to competition@ryanair.com Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (12th Mar) invited passengers to suggest the airline’s next ancillary revenue idea after Chief Executive, Michael O’Leary, confirmed that the company is examining the possibility of passengers paying to use the on board toilets in a drive to keep costs down and lower Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares even further. This Europe wide competition invites passengers to submit their most ingenious, wacky and creative ideas to Ryanair via the www.ryanair.com website to be in with a chance of winning a €1,000 cash prize. Launching the competition, Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said; “Ryanair is Europe’s largest low fares airline and we plan to continue to reduce costs and fares by stimulating ancillary revenues. We have always provided passengers with choice, if you don’t want to pay for food – don’t buy it, if you don’t want to pay checked in bag charges – don’t bring checked in bags, if you don’t want to pay handling charges – then just use Visa Electron entirely free of charge. Since we confirmed that we are considering a toilet charge we have received a huge number of ancillary revenue suggestions from passengers and we want more. We are asking passengers to submit their ideas with the most creative winning €1,000 cash. Some of the best suggests to date are: · Charging for toilet paper – with O’Leary’s face on it, · Charging €2.50 to read the safety cards, · Charging €1 to use oxygen masks, · Charging €25 to use the emergency exit, · Charging €50 for bikini clad Cabin Crew.

Waiping 12 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 50 euros for bikini clad cabin crew! Good Lord! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chan CS 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 So, when low pressure occurs in the cabin and the oxygen masks drop down, you have to pay before you use it! And when the plane crash landed, you also have to pay before you can use the emergency exit! Hilarious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Maybe the passengers should pay the pilot direct then? Maybe €10 per pax per sector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
