Ryanair to offer free flights ... if you stand

Ryanair has announced that it could start offering passengers the chance to fly for free, if they are willing to stand.

Publicity seeking boss Michael O'Leary said the budget airline was in talks with Boeing to remove the back rows of seats from their planes.

He claimed they could - if they get the go-ahead from the Irish Aviation Authority - rip out the last few rows of seats to increase the number of people they could carry.

He said passengers who opted to travel in "vertical seating" would not pay and the option would only be available on flights lasting less than an hour and a half.

It seem that O'Leary has answered the seemingly impossible question of "How can you make a Ryanair flight more unpleasant?"
