Easyjet & Ryan Air have playground spat...

Ryan Air has been grassed up by Easyjet for misleading newspaper adverts.

Two newspaper adverts for the airline offered £10 one-way fares, with the small print explaining that the offer was subject to restrictions.

The Advertising Standards Authority, following a complaint by easyJet, said that the "ads were likely to mislead".

Ryanair declined to comment specifically on the ruling, but criticised easyJet for complaining.

Hmmm, Easyjet, sounds a bit like pot and kettle...

Well, I read somewhere that Ryanair deliberately do this because it's just more "free advertising" and whilst it may be misleading it still mentions low fares.... ..which is what they are all about.

i'd agree with the clever marketing. I think it's something similar to the Bavaria beer (think this is the brand name) 'marketing' at the world cup during a Netherlands match. the amount of press coverage they received after this was unreal when in terms of the actual 'marketing' at the match it was minimal as the dresses only had a very small logo which was barely visible.

Besides the point a bit here, but whats this im reading about ryanair likely to offer standing areas on flights!!

I think i'd rather pay a little more and have a seat..how very worrying.

p.s I tried to link an article, but being a newB I cannot

i suppose it depends on the length of the flight whether i would entertain this idea. i'm very into weight training so the standard seats on short flights are a bit of a squeeze and pretty uncomfortable.

Thats fair enough, just the safety idea really throws me off. Obviously plane crashes are very rare, but the idea of being thrown around in some turbulance puts me off completely.

On another note, they are offering a 'fat tax' for overweight people on flights. Agree or disagree people?

how does the tax work or what is it based on?

Im not really sure, I just read that 'overweight' people may be charged more on flights due to seat space.

How degrading.

it must be referring to obese people. either way 'overweight' is too general a term anyway so i'd be interested to see what the criteria is to mean you have to pay this 'tax'.
