Ryanair recently launched an online poll to ask if passengers would 'stand' on short flights if it meant they could travel for free, or pay 50% less than seated passengers.
Ryanair is gauging passenger demand for its 'vertical seating' which will allow passengers to travel in a secure upright position on short flights of approximately one hour.

Save money and stand on Ryanair|
Guest: not-so-stupid american

Actually I'd be for it, it beats folding myself up for them and having drinks spilled on me. But there'd have to be some kind of guarantee that I get my money back if I have to spend more than XXX time standing due to delays of any type.

(1365 days ago)Considering their planes have zero leg room, it would probably be more comfortable for tall people with longer legs to stand. Being tallish myself, I'd quite like to give it a go.

(1365 days ago)I get the feeling they are only diong this to cram more passengers on the plane (probably about 50% more to justify the drop in price). Considering your face is only about 1 foot away from the seat in front when seated, i would imagine it would be quite crammed and restricting. I wonder if it would reduce the chances of DVT though?

(1364 days ago)If they get 50% more people on for 50% less, then there's no profit!

Actually, it would be a loss in profits, 50% increase means that 150% as many passengers, paying 50%. 150% passengers x 50% fare = 75% income.

As you can see in the picture there will still be seated passengers, that presumably pay the full fare.

WOW!!! One sensible comment in the entire thread. I'm with you Walter, if I was on a short haul flight I would happily save half the fare by standing. My only question is how much space they can really save. Will they have to eliminate hand luggage?

(1364 days ago)This is bullsh*t everyone, they have no intention of doing this. In Ireland, every week they have a representative on the radio to talk about another hair brained idea, be it stools on flights or load your own bags into the hold. They just do this to get free publicity and frankly, everyone over here is sick of it, therefore they're not getting as much airplay anymore. The sheer number of comments below proves my point about getting people talking!

Some of the flights I've been on, I wonder what they'd charge just to sedate me and stack me in a bunk. Wake up on the other end and wonder where the hell I am.

It's easy publicity on Ryan Air. It wouldn't work in terms of health and safety but it's a great viral marketing campaign which works again and again for them.

Latest comment: if you're going towards the ground like a dart the crash position is splatted on the place in front of you. only if you're standing you're in a less stupid looking position when they find your crispy corpse.

If the plane falls from the sky, I think the crash position includes wetting oneself...
