Budget airline Ryanair up to its old tricks

[danno]

They are planning on introducing "Standing Sections" and they are talking  about pay toilets again.

Stand for an hour? I can do it...

Hold it for an hour? I can do it.

Question is, how much would I save in airfare?

JAX to Hartfield, $50 total airfare including one personal item and one carry on bag?

That's a price that I could agree to. What would really suck would be any delay. I have experienced lengthy waits on the tarmac. They can really try the patience.

well since Ryan Air charges as little as $10 to fly from London to Paris and London to Dublin, this all seems reasonable.

New study shows how less regulation and more competition in air travel in the EU (no kidding, really) has lead to lower fares than in the U.S.:

Why bother with RyanAir? You can get that same flight on AerLingus for 0 euro, taxes only (about 7 USD) if you book it when they release the 0 and 1 euro fares at the beginning of each month.  

Ryan Air usually isn't worth the hassle, but I'll fly EasyJet in a heartbeat. I may have to pay for my drink, but I'll never have to pay for the loo or deal with the pushy RA boarding free-for-all (at 6am, when all RA flights usually take off, no less).
