What else can they take away from economy class at this point?
- paxys 2y agoFly any European airline and you'll see.
- koyote 2y agoWhat are you referring to? Air France, Lufthansa and BA all have carry-on included in the fare. If by "any European airline" you specifically mean Ryanair, then yes. We can expect people to pay if they did not print their boarding pass themselves.
- stirlo 2y agoThe majority of airlines operating in Europe and the majority of flights taken are on low cost carriers where this is the norm. It’s not just RyanAir there’s dozens of them.
- koyote 2y agoSo maybe the OP should have specified 'any low cost European airline'. But that's also true in North America. Last I checked, Air Canada was not advertising themselves as low cost.
- subarctic 2y agoI guess they mean any flight within Europe. Most transcontinental flights still have a lot included
- koyote 2y agoI was referring to flights within Europe. (Btw, transcontinental is an American term that confusingly means from one side of the US to the other, and not 'between two continents')
- School-Cotton 2y agoPresumably they meant "transatlantic".

- dismalaf 2y agoAny? I fly CSA, Air France and KLM regularly. Carry-on is included. Granted, there are budget airlines where it isn't. But it's definitely not "any" European airline.
- __turbobrew__ 2y agoNo assigned seats a-la ryanair. Standing room only.
- arcticbull 2y agoThe question is what else do people not care enough about to pay for.
- eapressoandcats 2y agoNot sure, but the price discrimination between “main cabin” and basic economy is fascinating. Literally any imposition that will make things better for people in the tiers above basic economy makes sense, even if it doesn’t directly save the airline money.
- bagels 2y agoRyanair proposed removing the seats to have a standing room area. Seriously. Definitely beverages can be removed. An inch or two more leg room could be trimmed. The 10th percentile femur length still can cram in to the seats as it is now, might as well make it 25th percentile.
- switch007 2y agoDon't worry, Ryanair CEO lies awake considering that question every night
