It's no joke: budget airline Ryanair aims to shake off its grim image with improved customer service

Airline Ryanair has made a break from its usual cattle-truck image by introducing business class fares for the first time. "Business Plus" tickets will be more flexible than ordinary tickets and come with a free hold bag, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The new tickets will allow one checked-in bag up to 20kg, which would cost as much as £75 on top of a standard fare, and will permit travellers to change to another flight on the same day, or to any airport in the same country, up to 40 mins before departure for no extra charge. Each change might normally cost £90.
