How much for hanging on to the wing!

They got the idea from the Chinese.

Cheaper? You can already fly from London to just about anywhere in Europe for 4 pounds one way on Ryanair.

Hmmmm...

I don’t see how they will pass the mandatory passenger-protection limits using belted bar stools.

I already stand during most of the 14 hour flights back and forth to Korea.

Shuttle flights shouldn’t be a problem.

Personally, I think that they got it right in “The Fifth Element.”

Simply put people in a tube, sedate them, and then put them in the cargo hold. As a plus, you could put their luggage in with them (imagine the lack of problems of a passenger arriving at a different location than their luggage), and bill them for their travel by the pound!

Why don’t they build compartments like mail slots. You could take a sleeping pill and slide into your slot and they could wake you when you land. Different sizes for different sized people. Fatties would pay the most.

Air travel has become disgusting and I don’t plan on ever getting on an airplane again so I don’t care what they do.

Someone on a bar stool is not standing, as the headline misstates.
Still, this is stupid. It just decreases the chances of survival in a crash.
This is not the way to save money.

Thank God I have my own plane (Beech Bonanza). I always fly myself whenever possible.
