P*ss off!!!

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.

Totaltravel.com global marketing manager Paul Fisher said the survey had hit a nerve with voters, with 1000 votes received in just 24 hours.

“There’s no debate here – Australians detest the idea of paying to pee and I would advise all low-cost airlines to pay close attention,” he said.

Mr Fisher said the travel industry needed to make sure it provided good service because people were more frugal with their travel dollars.

“Travellers want value for money but they do not want to be taken advantage of,” he said. “I think it’s fair to say that charging customers for using the toilets will not win any fans.”
