Irish restaurant charge Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary with ‘priority seating’ fee
An Irish restaurant turned the tables on Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary adding charges for “extra leg space” and “priority booth seating” to the airline boss’s food bill.
Luvida in Navan, Co Meath, joked in a Facebook post on Friday evening: “Thank you to Michael O'Leary for choosing to dine with us tonight! It was a pleasure to host you. “Hope you don't mind us adding some additional charges to your bill for extra leg space, priority booth seating and quiet area reservation.”
The Meath restaurant gave Mr O’Leary a bill with €37.85 (£32) in additional charges, including €7.95 for “extra leg space”, €9.95 for “priority booth seating” and a €19.95 “quiet reservation area” fee. Luvida even added “terminal 1” to the top of the Ryanair CEO’s mock receipt, alongside his order – a bottle of pinot grigio, battered prawns, mushroom toast and sea bass dishes that came to a total of €142.30.
