Then our plane encountered turbulence, and I found I did. The bumpy ride threw up one of the less savoury aspects of no-frills flying — no sick bags. Some people did have plastic bags (though many didn’t realise that these had air holes “diced carrot” can seep out of). Others were forced to throw up into handkerchiefs and cups, even in the aisles. How much does Mr O’Leary save, I wonder, by not supplying bags? I suppose every little bit saves on the fuel bill.

Ryanair replies: “Out of 74 aircraft, 65 have seat-back pockets, all of which have a sick bag placed in them for every flight. Those without seat pockets have sick bags in each overhead locker. Customers are notified of this during the boarding PA.”

WE BOOKED a holiday in Fuerteventura with Eclipse Direct. My husband and I are going for two weeks, and our flight supplement was £35pp. My son is travelling out with us, but staying only one week. He has been charged £60pp for his flight supplements. It seems just another way for the company to make money.

Eclipse Direct replies: “We reserve the right to change prices from time to time. While the two holidays booked were for the same destination, they were for different durations. As a gesture of goodwill, we have removed the additional supplement from the booking by the Gilmours’ son.”
