My proposals to Ryanair – New developments !

I can’t believe it. After the idea of possibly charing for using the toilets, Ryanair is now asking passengers new possible fees. I found the info on aero-news.net (thanks for that) and immediately sent my e-mail to competition@ryanair.com. What did I propose ? I simply copied the content of the post I wrote earlier as a cynical reaction to their idea to charge for toilets. Click here to read the original post, or read the copied list below:

  • Toilet paper
  • Glasses for drinks
  • Safety belt
  • Life jackets (surchage if an emergency is declared)
  • Stairs for boarding (surcharge for handrail)
  • Oxygen masks (surchage in case of “drop in cabin pressure”)
  • Safety briefing
  • Use of the overhead compartments
  • Warm and pressurized air in the cabin
  • Seat (surcharge for armrests)
  • Window / window blind
  • Doors (incl. emergency exits)

If you want to copy it and send it to ryanair as well, you’re welcome to do so – you could even win 1′000 Euros. But as I did, don’t forget to add “Respect” to the end… I’m sure many of us would appreciate to be well treated passengers. I know that writing here about this new idea from Ryanair is contributing to their marketing buzz, but I could not resist. Let’s see if they’ll respond, and if my idea of “pay for respect” will be retained…

    What about make cabin pressurization work only by inserting coins?… 30 minutes – 50 cents… :-P

    Cheers!

  2. @JB: feel free to submit it yourself to ryanair… you certainly have a chance.

  3. The could conduct some kind of telethon when accelerating to V1… If we don’t collect 1000 euros in the next 10 seconds the captains throttles the engines back and it’s back to the gate. Also charge passengers for beacon, strobe and nav lights at night. Julien.

  4. @Julien: great idea ! Putting people under pressure always gives good results. Your concept could also be extended beyond V1: don’t give enoug money, and the second engine will be stopped before reaching Vr !

  5. Ben Sandilands at crikey.com.au suggests today that Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair, may be losing it.
