It always feels like there’s an element of marketting to this too. I think it reinforces not just budget, but out-right cheap.  Uncompromisingly cheap.<p>I would not be surprised if you could find americans who have never set foot outside of north america, who could still name ryanair as being the cheap option here.  And I wouldn’t be surprised if they couldn’t name a second.  (not to assault the stereotype too much, just to single out a demographic who have never had any need to put one second of research into the topic.)<p>All the headline grabbing “charging for toilets” nonsense is really effective, free marketting.
