One toilet planes

So Ryanair plan to rip out two of the three toilets in their planes to enable them to install more seats.

I was surprised to read "There is no legal stipulation for an airline to provide toilets on its aircraft".

Surely with the ever increasing 'Health & Safely' legislation this can't be so?

Take this scenario, a number of travellers returning home from their hols with 'Spanish Tum' what then, would we see 'Toilet Rage' taking place over the one toilet?

I hope they advise passengers to take some colostomy bags with them!

Don't they already supply 'sick bags'? If they supplied a bigger size they'd solve the problem.

I just read that, the cartoon that accompanys it is a classic. Don't think could cope with being on a plane no matter how long, if there was only one loo or none at all.

I've been on coaches with no toilets and coach trips invariably last longer than your average Ryanair flight.

[BrainsTracy]

they are correct there is no legal requirement to have toilets on a plane. Just pee on the floor, I'd imagine this latest o'leary game will then soon be ended.

Seriously What The Funicular? I was going to say that that this might stop all the excessive drinking that most holiday brits seem to do but after seeing the drunken and unruly way they were acting on my last flight i'll take a guess that thay many of them would probably just pee on the plane.
The queues were pretty messed up with 3 toilets so this means that you'll have one permanent queue full of angry drunken passe . ngers who would also be getting in the way of the staff there. They'd better increase police number at both ends of the flight as arrests are going to go up considerably

An appliance on Dragons Den is the answer. Although it was designed for women it could possibly be used by both sexes. The invention was a seat with a hole in the middle.

Banning alcohol on their flights might solve a lot of these problems.
More seats and more comfort for all !

Yes, but don't they usually take regular 'pee stops' on the way?

[emmie]

most coaches these days have toilets, don't see the plan working, after all Gerard Depardieu took a pee in the aisle of the plane, because the steward/ess told him he couldn't use the loo as the seatbelt sign was on.

Ichkeria here here! personally i will not be travelling with them as when a company wants to put a few extra dollars over the passengers comfort and happiness then i will not be putting any more money in their wallets.
I'd rather save and pay a little extra so my holiday begins on the good foot and not amidst a mass drunken brawl caused by frustration and public urinating.
With this airline saving a few dollars on a few seats, they will then have to spend thousands on cleaning after people have peed everywhere so this will end up costing more than it saves, have they not thought this through properly?

[anotheoldgit]

Can anyone remember those non-corridor train carriages?

But at least if you had a compartment to yourself you did at least have privacy.

[ummmm]

Don't you mean Euros?

[emmie]

Ickeria, so now there are no toilets and you are busting, what now, go outside perhaps.

[vulcan]

You're not allowed to take a bottle of liquid onto a plane, there's nothing about taking a bottle of liquid off.

[ichkeria]

"Ickeria, so now there are no toilets and you are busting, what now, go outside perhaps. "

Er, there would be toilets. I was just saying that if Ryanair want to cut down on the number of them on board their flights it seems only fair also to cut down on the amount of overpriced alcohol they sell as well.

[emmie]

The one thing that makes flying remotely enjoyable is being able to have a glass of something to ease the tensions, after having queued up for x hours at check in, waited in the airport for the announcement your flights been cancelled for the umpteenth time, so by the time you actually get on board, and are airborne, is to have a drink to calm down.

[pa___ul3]

only one stop on a 6 hour trip to Durham I went on in January, considering your average ryanair flight will be around 3 hours max. One toilet may be alright.

[Old_Geezer]

If they have any sense they'll fix the seat so you can put the cushion back and find you've been sitting on a comode all this time. Paper to wipe with in the pocket in front, next to the sick bags.

[ichkeria]

Well I wouldn't fly with RyanAir if they were the last airline on earth, no matter now many or few toilets they had, nor even if they offered me a free magnum of Champagne courtesy of Mr O'Loopy.
Give me KLM and UIA for example - maybe not the cheapest but far more relaxing :-)
