Funderland meets Ryanair
Saw an interesting story here. It goes like this…
An elderly woman misunderstood instructions while checking in at Arlanda, Sweden’s main airport and was whisked down a baggage chute after she placed herself instead of her luggage on the belt.
The 78-year-old woman, who was not named, was preparing to fly from Stockholm to Germany on Tuesday when she lay down on an unmanned baggage belt in the belief she was following check-in instructions, a local daily reported on its website.
She was quickly swept off to the baggage handling centre, where staff members helped get her back on her feet.
The woman suffered no serious injury and caught her flight as planned.
I wonder is Michael O’Leary getting any ideas from this? I suppose if you can charge for priority boarding just so people can have the pleasure of sitting on a Ryanair flight longer than everyone else, then maybe people would pay for some thrills and spills on the way? Funderland meets Ryanair, coming soon to an airport near you.

I was at Lovebox at the weekend, courtesy of the good folk over at State. It really was a poxfest. MCD should be ashamed. I doubt they give a fuck tho. Moreover, Groove Armada should be disgusted to be associated with something so amateurish. That said N*E*R*D were fantastic. Some reviews of Lovebox here, here and here.
