A simple and effective method to help boost your passenger spend count.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you owe someone \u20ac2.00 advise that you are short of change right now, and can return the change at the end of the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Or ask them if you would like to purchase a scratchcard, or something to the value of \u20ac2.00.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If it doesn\u2019t work then don\u2019t worry, at least you tried.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The airline\u2019s controversial boss Michael O\u2019Leary is renowned for his revenue-enhancing ideas that aim to increase turnover and lower costs.<\/p>\n<p>A Ryanair spokesman described the sales advice as \u2018a training document used by a third party\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The company admitted it still worked with Retail In Motion but the contents of the paper have been amended.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ryanair\u2019s policy is that change is returned immediately to passengers,\u2019 added the spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Or if no change is available, the cabin crew note the seat number and the change due, and it is always returned before the end of the flight.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, I will never fly Ryanair.
