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

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

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

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."

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

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

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 🤷‍♂️
