Yeah, but come on. The British Isles is well well behind with their drinking culture. Its only a minority but look at any town/city centre in the British Isles on a Saturday night, its fckn mental.

I’ve given up on Jet2 this year because of the 2 drink limit, but I can understand why they have it. Taking scheduled flights with BA from Aberdeen via London. Expecting it to be a nicer travel experience.

I'm usually too exhausted to even think of drinking on a flight - I've always been up all night if it's an early morning one, as most are, and all I want to do is cram as much sleep in as I can possibly manage before landing so I get full value out of my first day there. Same coming home as I've usually had too little sleep or have a long drive ahead of me when I get home. Rowdy drunken dickheads are honestly the last thing I want to be sat near on a plane !

Having a hire car to collect at the other end ruled out tanking up on the way over to Ibiza for me years ago, in the days when I would otherwise have been so inclined !!
 
I got my eyes opened on a Ryanair flight out of Dublin. Boy sat on the opposite side of the plane to us taking gear and playing techno at 5am on a Bluetooth speaker thing. Guy two rows up had one too and they were having a battle to see who could play the loudest tunes. Lots of people drinking their own alcohol. Didn’t hear a word of the safety demo. Total chaos. I had planned to sleep as I was up from 7am that morning for work. End up I started drinking, can’t beat them join them. The captain came over and said it all had to stop or the police would be waiting for anyone who re-offended. I felt for the staff as people were being so rude and not listening to a word.

As usual it’s a minority that cause the problems. Nothing wrong with a pint in the terminal after you’ve checked in and sitting waiting. But there’s always some try to thrown back as much as they can. Flights should be comfortable and safe for everyone travelling, and there’s always a mixed age range and plenty kids on the flights to Ibiza. The flight crews always do a good job and no one deserves abuse in their job.

There was someone taken off a flight I had from Glasgow one morning at 7am. Deserved all they got and they had plenty warnings. I think we were lucky they were taken off before departure and not re-routed somewhere, I think we just had an hour delay because of it but that was annoying enough.

I saw the group the guy was with in Itica a couple of days later, and he was with them. I heard he just went over to easyJet and got the next flight. There should be a shared list banning these people from all airlines, maybe for 6 months rather than life though as a 6 month ban from all airlines would make them think differently next time. Do it again and get banned for life. A life ban for consuming alcohol in airports and onboard too if there was a way to enforce that.

Agree, a 6month flight ban would make almost all reconsider their actions, instead of as you say simply getting the next low-cost flight out and being called a ‘legend’ when you land and reunite with their mates.
 
What always astounds me, is where the hell these people go after you land. I think I've told the story before, but went with a mate last year who isn't massively into dance music. Likes it, but wouldn't have gone to Ibiza if it wasn't for the fact I'd been and he knew I was telling the truth about the place.

On the plane out, the usual dicks making noise and being rowdy, and I assured him that this would be a one off. Sure enough, he was astonished the rest of the week that we barely saw any English people the whole time. I assume these people are the sorts who max out their credit cards in Ocean Beach on the first day, then spend the rest of the time in their hotel room.

I did find it funny one year where some right lad was giving it the all most of the way across France. Nothing nasty, just thought he was brilliant. You know the sort - steroid user (nothing against that BTW, I'm just describing him), tattoos, vest top, snapback. Then we hit that horrible clear-air turbulence that comes off the Pyrenees. He suddenly turned into a small child and was hunched up in his seat with his head in his hands, basically crying with fear. His mates, along with most people around him, were laughing their arses off at him.

A lot stay around the hotel, once stayed at the Costmar and attempted to chat to some of the natives in reception and on the stairs and many haden’t even left the hotel all week and it wasn’t even an all-inclusive! Baffling when even the Westend is a mere 10mins walk away!

I spoke with one random once that ended up in our hotel room before a night out... Spoke a load of waffle to us and he said he hadn't left the hotel either. He got a Rolls Royce off us and then we didn't see him

Next day his mum came to our room and said how amazing that Rolls was and wanted another! She said she took it in her hotel room and sat on the toilet all night!!

We continued to bump into them the duration of our stay room the reception, the lift and the hallways.

Haha i always wonder where they all stay as well. I got a 9pm flight from Gatwick last year with a friend who had not been to Ibiza before. In the queue to get on the plane my friend looked at me with complete fear that it would a week away in close proximity to all these idiots. There was two hen parties and one stag party. All three groups stood up for the whole journey, argued with the flight attendants and openly took ket in front of everyone. Then the two different hen parties started arguing with each other, screaming etc. One girl fell over and knocked her front tooth out. It's funny looking back but at the time i was so anxious that they would make us land in Paris or Barcelona, etc to kick these people off. But yeah, you never end up seeing these people at all on the holiday itself which is great. I feel so sorry for the flight attendants who have to do the Ibiza flights from UK airports.
 
What I don't get is that most of the people being rowdy on the plane are like it before it even takes off. In the departure lounge, in the queue, acting up on the plane when people are boarding - why don't they tackle the problem then before the plane takes off? I'm a very nervous flyer and people acting up on a flight doesn't help my mental state at all.
 
It does seem weird to me that people are happy to get rowdy and start fights on a flight yet I never see any fights on the island? In their head do they think they can't be arrested in the air or something? :lol:

Not too happy about the Jet2 2 drink limit, but last year I had 5 pints before flying and then 2 on board, the air hostess then said I looked fine and gave me 2 more.. So I guess if you aren't at all causing trouble then they may let you off with it (I hope so as I'm flying Jet2 this year)

My flight out from Leeds a couple of years ago was really rowdy but all in good spirits and we were all having a laugh with them, probably not ideal for families on board though

Find that hard to believe - seen plenty of short scraps in the West End over the years and I'm hardly ever there. Few in Bossa too - but that's been more assaults associated with drug pedalling ....

Seen a few incidents in the West End. Walking down the main strip someone whacked my best mate for no reason, it didn’t matter but unnecessary. Few obvious drug related, one whilst eating breakfast at the Scottish bar involving weapons in the morning.

Unfortunately these things happen at home, so slightly blasé.

Always wondered if the airlines sit stag/hen parties together and away from ‘normal’ passengers on flights.
