RYANAIR INTRODUCES 'BUSINESS CLASS‘ (SEPTEMBER 2014)

class.html
Ryanair, which once suggested it would introduce standing-only flights if only it was
allowed by aviation safety authorities, will launch a new tier of tickets aimed at business travellers willing to pay more for better service.
The programme was launched by chief executive Michael O’Leary earlier this year
alongside updates to the Ryanair website and reductions to its steep penalty charges for customers who fail to bring a printed boarding pass to the airport or otherwise transgress.
The move was widely seen as a response to the
resurgence of its rival EasyJet, which offers allocated seating as standard and charges less for hold baggage, and has made the business market a priority over the last few years as companies have sought to trim their travel expenses.
