Leave it to the passengers

In early March, Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, invited passengers to submit their most creative ideas for the company’s next ancillary charges. This contest came about after Chief Executive Michael O’Leary announced that the airline is considering charging passengers to use the on-board toilets in an effort to reduce costs.

Only passengers could have come up with these wacky and hilarious ideas. Following are some of the best Ryanair has received thus far:

·        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

cardWhat a good way to turn a potentially damaging situation into something fun and engaging for your clientele. This contest will hopefully help ease the pain of extra charges, even if those involve paying to use the toilet.
