Just another Ryanair lie. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/mar/19/ryanair-backtracks-on-transatlantic-flights-plan
Michael O'Leary getting more free advertising.
It's been tried before. Oasis Hong Kong lasted only two years before they went bust. Long haul is a different kettle of fish. Maintaining the aircraft will cost Ryanair a fortune. Plus crew costs plus food (paid for or not).
O'leary is still trying to persuade the authorities to allow stand up seating. That will never happen.

I flew, only once, RyanAir, which was from B,mouth to Faro dime 4 years ago. Having heard of their 'money grabbing, antics, I aldo bought, from their website, the approved RyanAir cabin case ( confirmed to all sorts etc and was even in their logo colours). At the gate the boarding staff asked me to put the case into their measurement gauge.. Then told me it was too big and tried to charge £45. No amount of discussion helped.. Until I used my iPad to show the advert, the RyanAir claims and a receipt. Flummoxed, the boarding gate staff had no option but to agree, in a rather unpleasant manner. One employee did finally say that they relied on their commission from these fines to pay their weekly supermarket shop...! I now use a slightly more expensive airline whose staff smile and dint rely on commission for their living needs...
Without wishing to appear an apologist for Mr O'Leary's headline-grabbing antics (and that's what they are, not serious proposals) my wife and I have both flown RA for very little cost. For instance, Manchester -Dublin for a day trip, out at 0700 back at 2100, cost £40 return including taxes. Manchester-Majorca return for less than £100 including taxes. I've just booked Manchester-Crete, Greece for £130 return including taxes. That's a trip of approx. 1500 miles each way! And if you do want to add a bag to the 10kg hand luggage, it's £40 return.
According to the BBC today, this idea has been cancelled - but, as others post, lots of free publicity for O'Leary. The pay-for-toilet never took place - another headline-grabbing gimmick. I've flown them - you get what you pay for!
