DUBLIN -- Is a bathroom an optional extra when you're at 30,000 feet? Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary seems to think so -- as his no-frills airline contemplates charging customers to use toilets on its aircraft.

"One thing we have looked at in the past, and are looking at again, is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door, so that people might have to actually spend a pound to 'spend a penny' in future," O'Leary said, using a local euphemism for relieving one's self.

Analysts agreed the man who pioneered charging customers to check bags, to use a check-in desk, and even to use a credit or debit card to make an on-line booking just might be serious.
