I want a discounted airline ticket where I just stand in an alcove the whole flight. There could be a few straps to buckle me in like a sleeping astronaut. I stand all day at my desk as it is, it would probably be more comfortable than most of the seats I’ve been in.
Today’s Biff just wants a few moments of your time.
Ryanair used to have a plan creating such seats, but I guess it never really took off.

I see what you did there, took off? heyoh!
The reason it never became anything was because the European Court just said “Sorry, but thats going a LITTLE bit TOOO far”
Where does he put his carry on? Or is he sitting on it? Can’t tell, still getting over optometrist visit from yesterday. I hate it when the burst into your house and squirt stuff in your eyes.
The carry on bag is in the overhead compartment like all the others.
(Wisse – Bravo.)
I heard the Ryanair seating revolution isn’t grounded, it just stalled.
I can fit in a duffel bag… why can’t I get the overhead flight compartment option?
Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix – ” ‘Cuse me while I kiss the sky.” He will be able to kiss the sky and play in the clouds. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
But this will just give them more seats to doublebook, I still can’t believe that they’re allowed to do that. “I’m sorry, I know you paid for your ticket, but this gentleman over here has the same seat, and he managed to get in line 2 seconds before you did. How about we claim to pay full price for a hotel room and your meals, while we’ll only be paying about half of the bill. The rest will come out of your own pocket, even though this is entirely our fault.”
I’m a little bitter about this, having had it happen to me once before.
