Brought to you by the same geniuses who came up with installing coin slots on lavatory doors.

From "The Daily Mail":

The Irish air carrier plans to cut costs by making fliers perch on stools with seat belts around their waists.

Chief executive Michael O'Leary has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing an aircraft with standing room.

Should the idea get the go-ahead from the Irish Aviation Authority, the airline plans to either order new jets or refurbish its existing fleet.

Ryanair estimates it would be able to pack in 30 per cent more passengers while slashing costs by 20 per cent.

So if you're traveling on a pinch, you can now choose to fly Sardine-class instead of Cattle-class (i.e. Economy).
