The only way this would work is if the cost of a ticket is drastically cheaper than other airlines.But really charging people to use the toilet is just low,, this is a Plane not some sleezy motel. And what if you dont have a crdit card.I can imagine pissed off passengers pissing in the cock pit

This j*rk is just after publicity, but why doesn't he simply add a 'service charge' of 2 quid which pays for one free soft drink and one free visit to the bathroom? The bathroom will unlock with a little electronic key or game machine coin :-> If people need to go more often they can buy more passes from the cabin attendants.

just p@@p or p@@ in the barf bag. oh, wait, then they might start charging for the barf bags. this is just riduculous.

I like the horizontal seats idea... I'd gladly go for a berth on a long flight. Just like taking the train, and perhaps could be made more efficient than regular seating.

That guy who patented that bag you attach to your lower leg, concealed by your trousers? That bag that has a tube attached to your johhny? That bag that allows you to pee when you´re on a bus without a toilet? Imagine how rich he´s gonna be!!! I for sure will be one of his customers.

Come on, O'Leary, people don't want to pay to use toilets. Heck, in my hometown, pay toilets came in the late seventies and were gone by the early eighties. Big failure, they were!

I hope if he actually makes the toilets on his planes pay toilets, every passenger either gamans or uses the barf bag ( they can't legally charge for the barf bags, can they? ) or goes in that bag that Lost was talking about.

Charge more for something else, don't charge for using the toilet, that's insane.

I think charging people to use the toilet is awful, but would people really lower themselves to go in their pants? Really?

anyone paying for it will most likely stay inside the whole trip just in case they need to go again.

A pee bottle is all I need, or a thigh length catheter.

No card, or the reader does not read it and then, it is put on adult diaper time. I have gout, and must drink a lot of water , especially on a dry air plane. What if you swipe the card and find that some clown dumped all over the toilet seat? What if you are traveling with a family and kids? This guy is a jerk. I will never set foot on one of his planes.

Hate to clean up the "air sickness" bags after that flight.

He has since come out and said it was just (yet another) publicity stunt.

I remember their was a pay toilet at one of the local fast restaurants in the eighties. I was a kid at the time. I also remember someone putting something into the lock to jam. The staff never did anything to stop it because they also used the same toilets.

I think someone should break into O'Leary's house while he's gone and install a coin-operated door to his bathroom(s).
