Standing room and fat taxes, lol

I may not be the thinnest bloke, but you feel that panic when the big lad come waddling down the aisle heading towards the empty seat next to you

Lets be honest, I've seen people needing seatbelt extensions, and struggling to fit in a standard cabin seat. The amount of fuss you get if your luggage is 1lb over, then some 30 stone bloke sits next to you

For no thrills airlines, why not introduce it.

As for standing room, would give a whole new meaning to cattle class!!

BBC News - Are standing seats a standing joke?.

To quote, from the article
So why announce innovations which that don't happen? It's down to Ryanair's unique approach to PR.
"They've only got one message, which is no frills. Ryanair is all about getting you from A to B as cheaply as possible," says Danny Rogers, editor of PR Week magazine. So everything Mr O'Leary says emphasises the message that his airline strips its operations to the bone to keep costs down.


So, relax - it's not going to happen..... .....yet!
