Ryanair plans £1 charge to use the loo

Ryanair has raised its price for luggage for the summer months
12 April 2012

Ryanair intends to charge passengers £1 or a euro to use on-board lavatories which will be coin operated.

The airline then plans to cut the number of lavatories on planes from three to one between 189 passengers to get in more seats.

The move, first floated last year, will not happen this summer. However, an increase in the charge for checked-in luggage will be brought in then.

The Irish no-frills carrier has raised its per-bag fee from £15 to £20 for bookings in July and August. The charge will return to £15 per checked-in bags from September.

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "We are determined to incentivise passengers to travel light this summer.

"Over 70 per cent of all Ryanair passengers will be unaffected by these changes because they travel with no checked-in bags."
