Irish budget carrier Ryanair<\/a> has criticised travellers who persist in wearing one particular accessory aboard aircraft. This follows the airline’s previous appeal to passengers to ‘please stop wearing’ denim jeans on flights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For numerous people, comfort while flying ranks amongst the most crucial considerations. Given that remaining seated in the same position for extended periods can prove far from pleasant, particularly when lacking sufficient legroom, selecting appropriate clothing may represent your sole opportunity for achieving comfort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For many, this involves donning joggers or tracksuits. However, occasionally, accessories can enhance comfort even further.<\/p>\n

This becomes particularly relevant on Ryanair, where seating tends to be more confined owing to the airline’s practice of maximising the number of seats aboard, forming part of their strategy to maintain ticket prices as affordable as possible.<\/p>\n

Renowned for their economical fares, the carrier has additionally built a reputation on social media, where they frequently joke about their own clientele, and suggest introducing yet more regulations and charges beyond those already in place – including premium seats with extra legroom or tardy check-in penalties.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Ryanair has now taken aim at travellers who insist upon wearing one category of accessory aboard planes, claiming it ‘does not look cool’.<\/p>\n

Posting on their Facebook page, the airline issued a notice to their passengers, stating: “Please note: Passengers do not look cool wearing sunglasses on board.” However, plenty weren’t convinced, as numerous individuals promptly headed to the comments section to voice their own views.<\/p>\n

“Could be true, but we don’t care,” one commenter posted.<\/p>\n

Others proceeded to suggest it was ‘needed’ because of the vivid interior of Ryanair aircraft.<\/p>\n

One individual contended: “Gotta shield our eyes from that highlighter-yellow cabin..<\/p>\n

“I put mine on so I can sleep,” another passenger revealed.<\/p>\n

Someone else concurred, stating: “Sunglasses at night-flight for a better sleep.”<\/p>\n

Another remarked: “With sunglasses on during the flight the 3 days vacation lasts longer.”<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, some sided with the carrier, with one commenter noting: “Only pilots should wear sunglasses.”<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first occasion Ryanair has bantered with and ribbed its travellers.<\/p>\n

Recently, they warned about introducing a ‘toilet usage fee’ for any flyers wanting to access the lavatory facilities aboard an aircraft.<\/p>\n

However, numerous people quickly recognised this was tongue-in-cheek, suggesting it resembled an April Fool’s prank released several days prematurely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Irish budget airline hit out at passengers in a cheeky Facebook post, sparking debate among travellers Alice…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60,1899,2521],"class_list":{"0":"post-383364","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-ryanair","12":"tag-travel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
