    Dream Up a New Airline Fee – If Ryanair Likes It, You Win Cash

    Those scamps over at Ryanair are no doubt still chortling over their CEO’s idea to raise money by installing pay toilets on the discounter’s aircraft – but that’s not the end of it.

    They’re looking for new ways to charge us – and they want us to come up with the ideas! But – at least, they’ll pay for them – 1,000 Euros – which was about $1,289 last time I looked.

    Here are some of the ideas already submitted:

    • Charging for toilet paper – with CEO Michael O’Leary’s face on it
    • Charging to read the safety cards
    • Charging to use oxygen masks
    • Charging to use the emergency exit
    • Charging for bikini clad Cabin Crew

    Kind of lame – am sure you can do better but hurry – ideas must be submitted to competition@ryanair.com by March 30. And if your idea is the winner, we will know who to blame for the next bone-headed fee!

    Brides Magazine has a trip for you (which includes airfare so I can blog about this in good conscience) — to New York and Tahiti. Here’s how to get it, per Brides:

    “Are you the most romantic couple in the world but haven’t had the honeymoon of your dreams? Tell us your love story…” Yes, you have to write a little something.

    Let’s see… “Whenever my husband is thirsty, he always says, ‘Darling, toss me a brewski’ and then I…” Hmmm. Needs work. But you get the idea.

    And in case you don’t, all the details are right here. And, merci, Gadling.
