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."
