Aussie travellers 'won't pay to pee' | Travel News | News.com.au

THE Europeans may be planning it but Aussies say they will never pay for a pee on a plane, according to a new poll.

The survey of 1340 people found nine out of 10 respondents believed the idea of low-cost airlines charging a fee for using toilets on planes was "ridiculous".

The poll follows news that European airline Ryanair will install credit card readers on their toilets within two years.

But the idea triggered angry comments from Aussies who answered the totaltravel.com poll.

"Going to the bathroom is a basic human function and should not be paid for under any circumstances," one said.

Another asked what would happen if a passenger did not have the cash and could not hold on.

"Young children, mature-aged and disabled individuals particularly stand to suffer the most from such an idiotic, money-grabbing proposal," the traveller wrote.

Only 4.5 per cent of people thought it was a good idea that would keep bathrooms cleaner and the same number said they didn't care.
