Most people can manage without making or receiving a phone call for the average hour or two of a Ryanair flight, in fact any flight. Just another money making scheme from Ryanair, that’s all. The thought of listening to someone with an over-inflated ego blasting into their phone throughout a journey doesn’t really appeal to me, just as it doesn’t appeal when I’m on the train – at least trains have quiet coaches, but I doubt the Tinkers will be installing quiet cabins in their aeroplanes. I suppose that they could encourage phone users to go sit in the small room whilst they’re making a call to keep disturbance and noise to a minimum! 😀 All in all, just another disincentive to fly Ryanair, another reason to avoid them like the plague IMHO.

I really hope that other airlines don’t go the same way – even worse on long haul when you’re trying to sleep and someone’s phone rings, having the same effect as an alarm clock! Hopefully, other more passenger-service oriented airlines will consider whether passengers really want or need such a facility, rather than just going for it on the basis of what extra money it will earn for the airline.
