Standing room only! Will you stand all the way to Ibiza?

[2H76]

For me, absolutely no way; even on the steps leading to the tarmac (why they do that even before they've offloaded the arrivals I don't know - so unnecessary) I manage to sit down! But there must be some logic here - more pax on a flight = more income therefore they can reduce the prices for those "standing". Not for me, even on the shortest flights. But what about you?

This looks more like an April Fool's joke that went viral at a wrong time.

Each airplane is certified for a certain maximum number of passengers (has to do with emergency exits). Budget airlines are already filling their planes almost up to the certifiable maximum. You cannot put 20% more passengers by making them stand, because there are not enough emergency exits for them.

The SkyRider seats are a concept and are not currently certified. I'll believe the story when serious aviation press carries it. Just google for "stand up airplane seats" - this joke has been around for at least 10 years.

Was in a national paper today thought; although it's the Daily Mail and it's, let's say, notorious! But I'm sure that O'Leary will be sniffing round! What worries me is they've put a date on it...

though i have been on flights both to and from ibiza when lots of passengers appeared unable to sit down! a flight to rome where we were the only ones not wearing luciano hats was the most memorable.

Standing up toilet to?

No chance of hitting the flaming target!!

Actually if I were on a standing seat, I'd probably go to the bog with my paper and sit there for 20 minutes!!

I don’t know what it is but I find plane toilets creepy. I could not spend extra time in there let alone relax!

Years ago I was on a flight to Mallorca (pre-liquids rules) and a woman went into the toilet with some styling foam/mousse or something and somehow -apparently - the top burst and the whole place was covered with foam! Looked more like an Ibiza foam party! The staff gave up trying to clean the mess, and it got locked until arrival!
