EUROPE'S largest budget airline, Irish carrier Ryanair, might start charging passengers for using the toilet while flying, chief executive Michael O'Leary said yesterday.
"One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound (US$1.43) to spend a penny in future," he told BBC television. He said this would not inconvenience passengers traveling without cash. "I don't think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound."
