The low-cost airline would charge passengers less on “bar stools” with seat belts around their waists.
Michael O’Leary, the chief executive, has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing an aircraft with standing room.

I do hope they add subway style hanging straps for standing passengers to grasp during turbulence.
Remind me never to fly in any airliner with which this guy has had a hand in designing!
It’s not April 1st, is it?
With every new crazy plan, I become more and more determined not to darken their boarding gates, let alone get on one of their planes.
I can imagine the fighting there would be as hundreds of beered up British holiday makers, falling off their stools, fighting to try to deal with the forest of oxygen masks that would fall in a tangled mess “No Mate, this one’s mine, that over there is yours. Family stools? Love stools? Private corner booths?
Is this the same airline that floated the idea of charging for restroom use? I figure this type of thing is merely pure hot air designed to stir up negative reaction such that other milder service cuts and new fees can be slipped in but will be accepted as perfectly reasonable and laudable by contrast.

My thoughts as well Elfgirl, and it was indeed Ryanair that talked about charging for restrooms.
Moooooo…
I flew Ryanair several times when I was in Europe. Great, cheap flights especially out of Stansted Airport north of London, but it was like riding a Greyhound bus with wings. One time we actually saw something fly off the wing and were actually told by the attendant not to worry. “If it was important, love, we’d be crashed by now…”
In this country, the FAA wouldn’t let that airline taxi to the gate!
And I’d be interested in knowing what Boeing and the FAA had to say to thid guy!
