Bye Bye Ryanair
I had the misfortune last weekend to travel on one of those new Ryanair
planes with the non-reclining seats, and no-seat back pockets.
It was a real pain in the neck ! Especially when trying to have a nap.
Also they handed out those plastic coated 'menus', and, with no seat back
pocket people put them on the floor and then put their shoes on them, which
no doubt had previously trodden in dog-poo at some time. I wonder if they
get disinfected after every leg ?
The safety announcement even said to read the safety leaflet in the seat
back pocket in front of you !
Well that was enough for me - that was my last voluntary Ryanair flight.
Bye Bye MOL.

If I wasn't forced they would be voluntary !
(I meant business trips when I am not in control of making the booking).

What a good idea, to me at least, it means the person in front of me will
not be able to put thier seat back in my face!

I don´t mind non-reclining seats, but I wonder why they removed the
seat pockets. Surely they can´t cost that much.

turn around.

Non-reclining seats should be obligatory on all short trips and on long ones
the seats should only be able to recline AFTER meals are served.

NO - minimum seat measurements should be sufficient to allow 99.5% of adults
to sit comfortably when the seat in front is fully reclined.

They can cram an extra row or two of seats into the plane with the
space and weight saved.

because they can?
I've been on a KLM flight from Paris to A'dam some years ago with the
same sort of seats, for some reason large sticky cream cakes were
handed out without plates or serviettes, the bloke in the adjacent
seat made a real mess, I saw him wiping his hands on the under side of
the seat.

re: lack of seat pockets and distribution of menus.
Perhaps menus should have a velcro back to allow them to be affixed to the
seatback instead of dropped on floor.

You could have that if people were prepared to pay the higher fares
which would result from the reduction in seating capacity. I think the
airlines know that far more people would go for low fares than would
go for comfort.

Re: Bye Bye Ryanair
I think that the non-reclining seats are a great idea. I am sick and
tired of idiots who think they are the only ones on the plane and
throw back their seat so that it jams my knees. The no backseat
pocket is a bad idea.
