Anyone who has ever travelled with Irish low-cost airline Ryanair knows it: stewardesses reduced to salespeople offer colourful scratch cards at dizzying heights and promise great prizes and support from charities. Krone+ shows the opaque big business behind it.
The flight to Bergamo is calm, the Prosecco is warm, time passes slowly. An aggressively offered scratch card can’t hurt: two euros per scratch card or five euros for a whole package? In any case, there is a chance of winning a million euros, cash prizes or an electric car, the stewardess promises. “Has anyone ever won there?”, is the naive question. “Yes, definitely, all the time,” she says kindly and takes out the cash machine. About 20 tickets are sold on board that day, and with the 2,000 to 3,600 flights that Ryanair operates per day, that is quite a large amount.
