Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies

Soon the loud passenger who's had too much to drink on your red-eye flight will be the least of your travel worries. Ryanair Airlines chief Michael O'Leary plans to launch an app that will allow passengers to watch porn on their tablets and smartphones during flight. Mr O'Leary told the Sun: "I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices. Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?" Best of all, the app could also be used to gamble or play games in case you got bored during the speaking parts of your in-flight adult movie.

    It's RyanAir; this is just a publicity stunt since O'Leary hasn't been in the new recently for stating stupid ideas that'll never happen.

    It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.

    It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.

    I suspect you are simply making this up. Ryanair does charge every passenger a fee, I believe it is €0.50 cents to recoup the cost of the services that they provide to disabled passengers. Obviously every other airline does this too, recouping the cost through ticketing charges, though they may not list the charge individually.

    I am not aware of any fees for services to disabled passengers, suspect they would be illegal, and the ryanair website explicitly lists things such as wheelchair assistance as being free of charge.
