Maybe if there was not the fear of sudden extra charges such as if you mislay your boarding pass you printed at home, Ryanair passengers would feel less stressed about flying and less likely to want a drink.

Open airport gyms, cinema style TV rooms, gaming area and reading zones or something.
Everything about air pots is about secur… EXTRACTING MONEY

Any time I see someone in the pub for a 6 or 7am flight I cant help but assume they have an alcohol problem. That doesn’t sound like fun anymore it’s a hassle.

The only reason he cares is because it’s eating into his margins,
He’s right but let’s be clear what his motivation here,
If he owned the bars serving as it was uplifting his EBITDA overall he’d be lobbying against anyone who’d want to stop it

That first holiday beer is an important milestone. You’ve had to get up at an awful ungodly hour, drag yourself to the airport. Check in your baggage and go through security.
All you need to do now is wait for your gate to be called. Time for your first holiday beer. You deserve this.

Man tries to make possibly one of the worst experiences ever, going to the airport, worse

Reddit is such a merry go round of culture bashing. Britains alcohol culture is today’s soup of the day!
Pipe down you virgins, a lot of people like a drink to mark the start of their well earnt holidays.

There are so many places and things you cannot do being drunk but this is one thing which seems fine in the UK. let’s put a bunch of drunks on a plane and no one else will enjoy their flight.
And the flight crew are not topless waiters in a sleezy bar somewhere.
I’m not against drinking but guys who get onto flights drunk are selfish.

I didn’t think it was exclusively British. I see it all around the world.

Unless you’re turning up to the airport 3-4 hours in advance, it’s hard to get hammered at the airport. With security, queues, going to the gate, you’re lucky if you have a couple of pints most of the time.
If people are getting onto a flight tanked up, most of the time they will have be boozing pre-airport.

He doesn’t like it because people buy food and drinks in the airport and not on the plane

The problem isn’t with the selling of Alcohol, but instead with the people who can’t handle it.

I don’t think this is a British thing so much as a travelling thing. I’ve seen Americans in JFK going to town on cocktails at 3AM.

Another attack on british culture. There’s a big push against alcohol at the moment from many different sides. These puritanical, subversive nutjobs can get fucked.
