Airline takes off for three-hour flight without toilet paper

May 3, 2015

A Ryanair flight bound for London from Spain didn't have toilet paper after an apparent restocking failure in Murica, Spain.

Passengers were shocked to hear during the safety demonstration before takeoff Sunday to learn that their wouldn't be toilet paper on the three-hour flight.

Ryanair spokesman explained in The MailOnline Travel details of the incident:

"This very rare and regrettable stock shortage (on the last flight last Sunday evening) was caused by the failure of our handling agents in Murcia to deliver toilet rolls and milk sachets that had been ordered on the turnaround in Murcia. Our crew explained to passengers that we wished to prioritise an on time departure for London Stansted rather than wait for these items to be delivered and cause a significant ATC delay for all our customers. Our passengers were very understanding and we apologised sincerely to them for any inconvenience caused."

Incidents like this have happened before. In 2013, a 10-hour flight from San Fransico to London flight wasn't stocked with enough toilet paper, forcing flight attendants to improvise.
