Ryan-Air landing at a different airport then locking toilets
Discussion
I'm not an expert on aircraft bogs - do they rely on other systems on the plane running (to pump water for flushing for example)?
I presume the design perimeters for the foul water storage tank capacity is based on the number of passengers and a short haul flight - perhaps they don't allow for extra capacity to allow for the additional waste produced during an extended sit-in protest by a load of angry frogs?

They need one of the engines to be on I think. Some how it creates a Vacum in the bog.
Ryan Air do this crap all the time.
My wifes flight From Newcastle to Southampton was delayed so that a Flight from somewhere in Scotland could land and its passenegrs join her near empty flight to Southampton. Ok you might think thats a good idea? But the truth was, this was done so that two flights could be turned into one, ths saving Ryan Air money.
Thing is though, the Newcastle flight was delayed 3 hours, and by the time it got airbourne Southmpton was closed for the night, so it landed in Birmingham instead. Not exactly near Southamton. The passengers then were bussed to Southampton.
So a flight that should have landed its passengers in Southampton airport around 8pm actually delivered its passenegers by bus a 4am the next day.
muppets of the highest order.

Nevermind then!
I've just watched a Ryanair 737 fold it's own stairs back in to the jet. I knew O'Leary was cheap, but that takes the biscuit!
They are actually bloody handy to have, especially when you're stuck on some crappy remote stand because you've landed late and there's no Airstairs coming anytime soon!I've just watched a Ryanair 737 fold it's own stairs back in to the jet. I knew O'Leary was cheap, but that takes the biscuit!
t operation, seemingly with disdain for their clients. And that is from the CEO!williamp said:
For some reason, people pay the cheapest prices they can, and then expect the levl of service you used to get from a 50s "jet airliner"
You pay the money, you take your chances.
"There's no such fecking thing as a fecking flight for 50p!"You pay the money, you take your chances.

Level of service is one thing, but not even being taken to the advertised destination is another in my opinion!You pay the money, you take your chances.
Did they know about it before they took off or do these people find out while in the air?

Yeah, but even though it's no frills, you still expect to get to your destination. You pay the money, you take your chances.
We'd be in the doodoo if we left an aircraft full of pax.

Major Ryanair error here...
Locking the bogs...
With a cargo of French...
French piss anywhere, everwhere, any time they feel like it...
Yes. Johnny Frog is a deeply insanitary fellow, there will be pools of oui-oui all over the carpet and seats, and I dare suggest, he'll throw his own merde up the walls. Filthy beasts, it's a surprise they can walk upright.Locking the bogs...

Don't know how true this is, but I was once told that the budget airlines substitute their profits occasionally by selling prime take-off slots to more premium airlines? They figure anyone who only paid £10 for their ticket can wait, but someone who paid 100 times that amount to fly first class, can't!
Can anyone verify that?
I never fly Ryanair or Easy Jet if it's remotely time-critical...
Had to last week and guess what... ended up at the wrong airport...
