Remember your last flight when you told yourself that at least flying couldnt get any worse? Well, its about to get worse. United Airlines will soon start charging some customers for the privilege to use the Lavatories (AKA the WC)
United has announced a new tier of ticket, as the company calls it. The airlines cheapest flights will now be called Hold It Economy, and if you want to take a leak during the flight, (or do #2) thatll cost you extra. Passengers will be able to bring a carry-on coffee can (or similar sized can) that fits underneath the seat in front of them. But dont even think about pissing the head. Thats for people who paid more.
Here is the shit for brains United Quote:
We are NOT implementing additional restrictions on our customers, OR taking anything away from them. United has announced a brand new fare called Hold It Economy that is an additional option for cheap customers and that will be cheaper than our usual overpriced Economy fares. For customers who are interested in using the Lavatory (AKA Bagno), our regular Economy fare will still be available.
Furthermore, customers who purchase a Hold It Economy fare with their Chase MileageMinus credit card will still receive priority boarding in group 2, and will be able to bring a coffee (or similar sized) can on board. Of course with priority boarding you DO except the condition that you will have to HOLD IT that much longer.
(NOTE: This fare is NOT available to men over 65!)
