Would it be shocking to see the President of the European Council flying Ryanair? Well, perhaps it shouldn't be, that already happened on the route from Brussels to Krakow.
(Mr. Donald Tusk aboard Ryanair, first published on Facebook).
I think there is nothing disgraceful if top politician saves taxpayers' money by choosing an LCC. I could imagine some others flying low-cost too. The problem lies elsewhere, though. While Pope, for example, would use Ryanair for sure, most of his cardinals probably wouldn't.
Btw. Shouldn't Ryanair consider starting a new route from BRU to GDN (family town of Mr. Tusk) as a kind of prestigious
PR gesture?
