A new use for the 3-1-1 baggie on RyanAir?

Maybe so. The Irish budget airline’s CEO told the BBC this morning that the carrier is considering installing a one pound coin slot on lavatory doors. Say it ain’t so Ryan!

And RyanAir has other ways of parting travelers from their money:

The carrier charges £30 to check in a bag, £10 to pay for flights with a debit or credit card (excluding Visa Electron), £60 to check in sports or music equipment, £15 for each kilo of excess baggage, £50 to change a flight and £100 to change the name on a ticket.

Last month, Telegraph Travel reported that Ryanair would receive £650 million in baggage charges and booking fees this year.

The airline has since introduced mobile phone use on 20 of its aircraft - at a cost of £3 per minute for calls and at least 40p per text - and proposed the removal of all check-in desks. - UK Telegraph
