They offer combined baggage allowance (while BA charged us £65 because one bag was 27kg despite the others being underweight - something Ryanair would have allowed). The crew were friendly (unlike BA) and you can actually fit in a Ryanair toilet unlike the slimline one on the BA A320neo (which was impossible with a two year old -who refused to use the BA toilet once in there because she said it was too dirty!)
The Ryanair
737-8200 Max aircraft have exactly the same toilet arrangement at the rear as the space-flex on the A320 many European airlines are adopting... 2 very narrow toilets aft of the rear doors, alongside the galley.
That’s the future sadly.
In the case of the Max, How else do you fit 197 seats in an aircraft built for 189? With the number of Max aircraft Ryanair plan to take delivery of, they will quickly become the mainstay of the fleet.
