Ryanair was in the news recently for considering charging travelers one pound for going to the bathroom. I never hold Ryanair in high value and I know what I am getting into when I fly them. If you want to be treated like a person, you don’t fly ryanair. If you want to be treated like cattle, you fly ryanair! But even this is a little low for them. I mean what if I take a three hour flight and don’t have a pound. I don’t want to beg someone for money to use a loo. Moreover, I think this would see people buy a lot less beverages on the flight.
Airlines never get it right. They are always over charging us and never give us cheap flights or ticket deals. They nickel and dime us for everything and there is always some new fee. If airlines wanted to fill those seats and make money, they need to connect with customers and give them service. Give them a reason to come back and if they do, they will pay more. It is why Apple can charge 2,000 for a laptop and people will pay it. People are loyal to the brand. Airlines don’t understand this. But if they want to survive, they better!
