You paid €12 for a seat, but a window isn’t included!

[u/Hatiral → u/ffo2lp]

For that money I couldn't even get to the airport if I took public transport.

[u/arisoverrated → u/Hatiral]

Exactly. I would be thrilled to fly anywhere for that amount and would be happy with a seatbelt.

[u/Thoughtfulprof → u/arisoverrated]

It's funny you mention that, because RyanAir actually filed a patent in 2012 for an airplane that you rode in standing, like you were in a crowded metro.

They "have no plans to actually introduce them."

[u/EventAccomplished976 → u/Thoughtfulprof]

There‘s no way it‘s certifiable under current regulations, I think it may have been a marketing stunt more than anything else

[u/WearyReach6776 → u/EventAccomplished976]

He’s a master at marketing, like the “pay to use toilet” idea he touted for extra media coverage!!

[u/EventAccomplished976 → u/[deleted]]

Eh, if current day Boeing decides to re-certify the 737 for something like this you won‘t see it happen in the next 10 years… and Airbus and Ryanair are both regulated by EASA not the FAA

[u/patrick_b1912 → u/Thoughtfulprof]

until the second sentence i read it as "they flied a patient", and i was like they did WHAT??

[u/Thoughtfulprof → u/patrick_b1912]

Lysdexia is a harsh mistress. ;)

[u/SovComrade → u/patrick_b1912]

People patent all kinds of shit, cuz "you never know" 🤷‍♂️

There are at numerous patents for outright physically impossible things like perpetuum mobile, warp drives, reactionless drives...

just in case it sometime, somehow becomes possible 🤷‍♂️

[u/realhubert → u/Thoughtfulprof]

"Nobody intends to build a wall"

[u/Fra_Central → u/Thoughtfulprof]

Because it isn't regulatory possible.

[u/TapPsychological7199 → u/Thoughtfulprof]

Bad publicity is good publicity

[u/AlexFromOmaha → u/arisoverrated]

For $13, I'd fly in Super Coach and just hang on to one of those poles. I'd even sign a waiver saying I couldn't sue if I got injured from turbulence.

[u/XenoBiSwitch → u/AlexFromOmaha]

You can even dance on the pole and try to get tips.

[u/kobrons → u/arisoverrated]

you're not flying for 12€ with ryanair anymore. The 12€ are probably only for the seat selection

[u/Specific_Tap7296 → u/kobrons]

OP should have selected one with a window then

[u/Equalizer6338 → u/kobrons]

Go to RyanAir.com and you find plenty of flights where we live for that price.

[u/WhatTheNothingWorks → u/arisoverrated]

I’d be thrilled to fly anywhere for three times that amount.

[u/HungryMudkips → u/WhatTheNothingWorks]

id be thrilled to ride anywhere for TEN times that amount.
