I loved their comment "it's no different from train travel ..." I think you'll find that trains don't leave the ground and don't have to land!

I'm sure this is just a publicity stunt - they'd never be allowed to do it.

Yep. Keeps Ryanair in the headlines. Free publicity!

Not for the first time either. Remember they were thinking about charging for people to use the toilet onboard and charging extra for fat people?

only for short flights as well, still dont agree what a nightmare if somethin was to happen. China must be mad!

Looks like it is still just an idea by the Chinese.

I found This Article

Ryan air are just jumping on the publicity bandwagon.

Ryanair really is becoming the Grace L. Ferguson airline.

Another Dumb Ryanair stunt. I'm sure CAA wouldnt let it happen.

What next - selling space in the hold, charging extra for oxygen masks and life vests?

IMO Ryanair are pushing the envelope too hard and something is going to go very wrong one day!
