Er, um I think he was just taking the piss!! If publicity were his aim, then guess what it worked!!!

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!

I can't figure how he could possibly make money by swiping credit cards anyway.

I'm sure unless he carged something like £1 (‚¬1) per go the credit card issuers would tell him to piss off!

Definately a publicity stunt!

then it is the kind of publicity stunt that makes them lose customers in countries like Switzerland, Germany and France.
Sure, everyone will speak about it, but it will all be bashing.

Ryanair dumps pay-to-pee idea
By: AFP
Published: 13/03/2009 at 10:42 AM BERLIN - A budget airline boss was "only joking" when he suggested charging passengers to use the toilet, an airline spokesman told a German newspaper.


Ryanair passengers were shocked last month when Michael O'Leary threatened to "put a coin-slot on the toilet doors so that people might have to actually spend a pound to spend a penny".

Ryanair spokesman for Germany, Anja Seugling, told the Ostthueringer Zeitung daily, "it was all just a gag," adding that Mr O'Leary was probably just thinking out loud.

Mr O'Leary, who is one of Ireland's wealthiest businessmen, has a reputation as a ruthless cost cutter, expanding Ryanair by offering low basic fares and charging extra for items like hold luggage.

Just bring your own toilet!
