Ryanair oxygen charge!

[Juan]

allegedly Ryanair have dissmissed reports that they are to charge passengers for the use of oxygen masks during the sudden loss of cabin pressure,on its flight from bristol to barcelona. michael o leary said i know we own the oxygen on all our ryanair flights,but its obvious it must be free of charge.:rolleyes:

That's a shit idea, talk about taking the p!ss :D

[reder]

One thing you cant point the finger at Ryanair for is safety. Considering the size of their fleet and the amount of flights, it is exemplary. I would be worried about the flying with the following however Take note people (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7562165.stm)

I was annoyed but not surprised to hear idiots complaining about the lack of information from the pilot regarding the situation. The thought that the pilots were fairly busy trying to save their lives by concentrating on the emergency descent and landing obviously didnt cross their minds.

Mind you, it might be an idea to allow the air hostesses talk to the passengers while they have their oxygen masks on...just to keep them calm...and that's ALL airlines not just ryanair

What information would you think that the cabin crew would have in this situation?

This thread started with a "joke" which some people seem to have taken as fact:rolleyes:

Yeah my girlfriend decided to jump on the bandwagon on this one saying how awful it was that them poor people were sitting there with no idea what was happening. I reckon the pilots time is best served securing the plane and just hoping that the people on board could forgive them for not fully informing them of what had happened.
Also i'm sure that if there was a total loss of cabin pressure it would be quite noisy on the plane and would probabaly be impossible to hear any announcement anyways! Also wouldn't the captain be wearing an oxygen mask too, can't be expecting him to take that off to make the announcement!

i think there is enough evidence here for a restraining order :)

back on topic though i agree with te fact that there should be some communication with passengers but not from the pilots there job is to fly the plane and especially in emergencies . the stewards should have spoke to all the passengers to keep them calm and relaxed which would be nearly impossible but at least its a little reassurance

"Excuse me, where are you going?"
"Huh? Oh, just to the toilet, I see its free now."
"Toilet? Do you expect to be doing a number one or a number two?"
(pause) "Huh?"
"A wee or a poo?"
(another pause) "Huh?!"
"Well, if you're just doing a wee, that's fine .. but if its a poo, you might want to consider buying some toilet paper before you go in .. you know, for hygiene concerns."
(another pause) "Buying toilet paper?"
"That's right, off myself or one of the other hostesses."
"Oh, okay. Er, can I have .. eight sheets then please?"
"Certainly sir."
"Actually, better make it twelve love, thanks."

How can I book Oxygen?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can book oxygen by calling the Ryanair Special Assistance line (click here for numbers).

Any passenger requiring oxygen should book this requirement through Ryanair Special Assistance Line, click here, preferably on the same day as the original booking, as there is a limitation on this service. Failure to pre-advise may result in the service being unavailable on arrival at the airport and you being unable to travel on your booked flight.



A fee of £100/€148 (or local currency equivalent) applies to pre-book oxygen. The oxygen charge, which is subsidised by Ryanair, is to pay for the expenses incurred for the provision of the oxygen for the passenger. The charge includes such items as administration, maintenance of the cylinders, refilling after use, etc. The fee is payable per booking at the time the service is requested.

We carry 2 Cylinders - 1 contains 311 Litres of oxygen which lasts for 77 minutes on high flow @ 4 litres per minute or 154 minutes on low flow @ 2 litres per min. The smaller bottle contains 120 litres of oxygen which lasts for 15 minutes on high flow @ 4 litres per minute or 30 minutes on low flow @ 2 litres per min. The same charge applies for both size bottles.

Only one in-flight oxygen request per flight is legally permitted. We cannot provide additional oxygen other than that detailed above. Requests for in-flight oxygen should be advised well in advance via the Ryanair Special Assistance line. In-flight oxygen requests cannot be approved until a doctor's letter is received to confirm that the passenger although requiring in-flight oxygen the passenger is fit for travel and that the oxygen being provided is suitable for their patient.

Passengers requiring in-flight oxygen are required to check-in at the airport (any airport check-in fee paid on booking will be refunded at the time that the special services are booked).
