Recent reports claim that the ‘much loved’ Ryanair is in negotiations with Boeing to develop ‘Pay As You Go’ toilets. The plan is to have one toilet for every 189 passengers (Report by Luggage Scale Reporter Andy Hemingway).
Yesterday, Ryanair confirmed another get rich scheme that is sure to wind up even more holidaymakers than normal – a substantial increase in its cabin luggage charges which just so happens to kick in at peak summer holiday period.
The airline presently charge £15 for the ‘luxury’ of taking hold luggage on board rising to £20 during the summer holidays.
With a one finger salute to its customers the no-frills budget airline will reduce the luggage charge in September after it has cashed-in at the expense of travelling families during the busy season.
Although Ryanair claims many of its customers travel light, increasing the case calculate during the school holidays effectuation many families who are unable to pack light for their children and babies module be penalised and landed with a higher fee.
Rochelle Turner, head of research for Which? magazine, said: ‘Ryanair might claim that they are incentivising people to travel light but we think it is more a case of penalising those families who crapper only go away on pass during this time.
‘Flying with Ryanair is not as cheap as it first appears and we would advise passengers to factor in these player costs when choosing who to fly with.’
