"dry" flights

[Deleted member 18121]

After the Jet2 debacle at the weekend we were chatting in the office about how it won't be long until flights are dry..... If that were the case how would you feel?

Not a problem. Not sure if they still are but years ago flights with some airlines were dry. Think Air India used to be

 

[drdel]

Great idea.

 

[chrisd]

No problem at all

 

[Robster59]

Wouldn't bother me at all.

 

[Backache]

More often than not I am driving afterwards so am not drinking anyway.

 

[Sats]

Not an issue for me.

 

[Wolf]

Absolutely fine, never drink on a plane anyway just doesn't appeal to me.

 

[full_throttle]

no problem for me, whatever the carrier feels safest,

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Fine by me.

I remember smoking on planes. I remember people in queues to board saying how they couldn't wait for the plane to take off so they could spark up. They "wouldn't be able to fly without a fag to relax". The ban hasn't really affected the numbers taking flights has it?

The biggest barrier to this are the airports and airlines who make a tidy amount from people drinking.

 

[Del_Boy]

Deal with the people who can’t handle the booze not make others suffer who are more than capable of having a drink without it affecting others

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Dont go near alcohol when flying, and even try to avoid any fluid when flying as having a small bladder and being almost 6ft2 using the toilets is a real pain in the arris.

Not an issue for me at all, in fact I'd be more than Hppy to see it.

Only issue is if you've let people on with 2 litres of "duty free" and they are that desperate or determined, how do you police it?

Not really sure what happened re the Jet2 flight, is that the one where the bird kicked off and the two fighter jets intercepted the flight. Didn't know booze was involved. But it don't suprise Me. Been on a couple of flights where people have got smashed. They have not been pleasant to say the least.

Alcohol free, it would suit me, but cannot ever see it happening.

wouldn't bother me none of the flights i take are long enough to get pissed, though i wish the Stornoway Benbecula flight from Sneck was... oh and Sumburgh

It’s going to happen soon enough, I think the airlines should refuse anyone that’s under the influence before boarding as well more often.

Well that explains the thread and why I got woken up by the jets flying over from Coningsby then...

 

[Kellfire]

Eurostar now have new lower limits.
No spirits at all
Only 4 cans of beer
One bottle of wine

Four beers in total. Not just cans.

 

[Don Barzini]

Drinking on aeroplanes is overrated anyway. The lager is never cold.

Seriously though, I’d have thought most of these kind of problems are caused by people getting boozed up BEFORE the flight while they’re in the airport bar. Not while they’re on the actual plane.

Angry.
Just because someone gets drunk and kicks off, why should everyone else be banned from drinking.
