Ryanair puts on airs
Ryanair, the European champion that everyone loves to scoff at yet still fly, continues its charm-school makeover by introducing “business” class http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...ess-class.html
Europe's biggest carrier by passenger numbers won't provide extra space for these premium tickets but does offer privileges, contradicting its original operating strategy of bare-bones service at low prices.
What next: Will its famously abrasive founding boss Michael O’Leary file down his fangs?

I don't see where it says there will be a business class. Business plus flexible tickets does not equal a separate business class. It's no difference to what Easyjet offers in terms of flexible tickets. And yes, not everyone has learnt a lesson, I am still waiting for mine despite having flown FR numerous times.

No way it can be false advertising until there is a universally recognized (and regulated) definition for "business class." When railroads and even motor coach/bus companies advertise their versions of business class the field is pretty much wide open to interpretation. Ryan just has their own interpretation on the concept (even though the don't use the words business class but rather brand it in their own unique fashion.
