So Ryanair plan to rip out two of the three toilets in their planes to enable them to install more seats.

I was surprised to read "There is no legal stipulation for an airline to provide toilets on its aircraft".

Surely with the ever increasing 'Health & Safely' legislation this can't be so?

Take this scenario, a number of travellers returning home from their hols with 'Spanish Tum' what then, would we see 'Toilet Rage' taking place over the one toilet?

Ryanair often broach these ideas to see how they fall. My father was in the airlines and Ryanair have always been known for such ideas. I remember when they announced they were thinking of charging passengers £1 every time they wanted to use the loo. Flight crew would have tokens to open the doors. Then flight crews would have to buy their own meals and drinks!

You are right about the alcohol Ichkeria. The problem is that the airlines make considerable revenue on the on-board sale of alcohol - ironic really when they won't allow smoking! (How many passengers ever became abusive or needed to be removed through smoking?)

Ryanair really do treat passengers and employees rather badly. They take on all the newly-qualified pilots straight out of training - whose first line flights are now with passengers! The flight crews have to buy their own uniforms, load luggage when required and pay back the costs of any training and conversion.

I flew with them twice but never again. The entire plane load of passengers were barked at like animals before boarding and I heard passengers on board being spoken to like dirt. Just as well I didn't bother them for anything! I now choose another airline or destination when Ryaniar crop up on the travel schedule.
KLM and relaxing should not be in the same paragraph!
The RAF raid to bomb the runways on the Falkland Islands took 16 hours round trip and that plane had no toilets, crossed legs all round !
Black Buck! Perhaps they waited until they landed at Rio!
They could take all the loos out and just have an outside one like on Yorkshire Airlines (Hale and Pace)
"KLM and relaxing should not be in the same paragraph! "

Well, I've only had courtesy from KLM staff. It's a question of personal experience. In fairness I have never tried Ryanair but not only am I deterred by the horror stories of rudeness to passengers, I am disgusted by their arrogant attitude.
And quite often their proces don't compare that favourably to proper airlines, when you take into account those hidden extras like, for example, seats (!)
one toilet planes would be OK if it was a same-sex flight.
(scrub that, we know what women are like)
I must have been under the mis-apprehension that if food and liquid are sold/provided then sufficient facilities must be available. Or doe that only apply to cafes/restaurants etc??
....and wanting to take luggage Ichkeria!
Maybe if you only use airlines once a year to go on your holiday Ichkeria, but up until recently I had to fly regularly. About 4 times a month. I can tell you that KLM's cutomer service on average is terrible. For short haul flights there is nothing wrong with RyanAir if you don't mind where you sit and don't want to eat. I used to fly back to England with them regularly and never had any issues.
Short haul I don't see a problem with just one toilet, as long as it is not an outdoor one.
Can't see it working, average flight say three hours, how many passengers, say 300 hundred, even with no one drinking alcohol, there is still water, coffee perhaps and whatever you might have imbibed before getting on the plane. No thanks.
I don't think Ryanair do any long haul, and it's all proper budget stuff isn't it. A to B. Like getting a bus instead of a taxi.
All this lot wanting 3 toilets! If I didn't know any better I'd say you were all just worried about lessening chances of joining the mile high club!!

Most small aircraft have pilot relief tubes fitted, but in pressurised cockpits that of course is not possible, so a type of plastic bag is sometimes used.
