The Ryanair Pay-to-Pee Scheme Is Totally Happening
We are due to fly the on low-cost, much-hated European carrier Ryanair in just over 48 hours, and already we're freaking out about if our carry-on bags are small enough to avoid extra fees. But now we're worried about even more than that! Ryanair has reaffirmed their commitment to making the dreaded in-flight "Pee Fee" happen.
At first, the announcement of charging 1 Euro per airplane bathroom visit was a publicity stunt, but when Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary gets a money-making scheme in his head...you know it's not a joke. Ryanair is reportedly looking to install pay toilets on flights under one hour, which would affect most UK-Ireland routes and the occasional other European short hop. Luckily our flight comes in at just over an hour, so we'd not have to deal with keeping a Euro coin handy just in case, but still.
It gets worse, after the jump.
Now get this: Ryanair wants to have only one pay bathroom on 50 of their planes. Next thing you know, we'll have to reserve a potty break in advance. Regardless, Ryanair promises that this fee will bring down airfare prices another 5%, but considering that our tickets cost a total of 20 Euro, we don't know how much lower they can go. And didn't O'Leary pledge to donate the pee fee to the incontinent anyways?
