According to 'Saturday Plus' (TV supplement magazine) Ryanair will be introducing a new "carry-your-own-bag-to-the-aircraft" policy next Summer!!

It's all do with giving customers the lowest possible costs!! But what about people with a disability, or a bunch of kiddies in tow?

Is this one step too far? :|

The paper that printed the luggage story are saying that people are gonna have the toilet problems again, because people will be so busy getting bags and what-no through Security that they won't have the time to get to the loo, resulting in huge queues once people get on to the aircrafts!!

I've no idea what their security is like... never flown with Ryanair. It must be the usual customs stuff, that you walk through, and it bleeps if you've got something suspicious. Mind you, if you go through the security scanners, and the alarms go off, are you supposed to just unpack all your bags on the spot??

I can't see this working out anyway.

Latest rumor i hear is Ryanair are thinking of using "bar-stool" seating in the aisles, this will be for stand-up passengers--in other words use all possible avalible space in the aircraft, of course this is rumor because the safety aspects would be horrendous (especially the UK health and safety culture which to me is hilarious), maybe soon seating on the wings? the Bathroom fiasco of ryanair was found to be false--but i hear its a possible option as a captive passenger will have no alternative, maybe poop their pants? i also hear that "pay per view" privelige for window seats is another option being explored.........:(

I thought this thread would be about an impromptu Madness gig at an airport somewhere. Most disappointing.

Monarch already offer people the option of upgrading to a window seat. I flew with them this morning. Ryanair already charge you to put baggage in the hold, isn't that enough to pay for baggage handlers and whatever? I don't see how it can ever be safe to have people standing on planes for take-off, landing and turbulence.

I also only saw the title but didn't visit and assumed the same thing. I thought Viv was reminiscing about the good ol'days of music.

I saw them 2 weeks ago today, and they were still good. A little rounder than in the good ol' days but the saxophonist was flying above the stage Pantomine-style which was pretty impressive. They're playing Nottingham next weekend as well.

Bit pricey to see here on their own but they certainly looked alright on the BBC Four Glastonbury coverage. Think they're about £24 a ticket when they come here.

Come on, I'm a pilot for Monarch and I know that's not true..... :) Extra legroom maybe? x

It's Ryanair, what do people expect? The owners a money-grabbing idiot. I have to fly Scum-air in a couple of months (no-one else flies from Gatwick to Ireland) and we are already looking at how we can cut the costs with them (sharing suitcases etc)

no comment on the above :) Fortune....Fly Aer Lingus.. They will fly you from Lgw to Dub also :)

That's what I meant to say I think. An emergency exit seat, not just a window seat. Unfortunately, I didn't pay for the extra legroom option, and didn't get any sleep when I flew over night, which is why I didn't make much sense when I posted in this thread.

Nice to see you on the site, anyway. Got any good airline-related stories?

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
