Ryanair,

Never really appealed to me unless I happened to bump into friend at airport and went for a drink.
Airport bars generally pretty grim. Some people (I'm thinking of Peej Coogan) don't think a holiday is a holiday unless they have a rake of pints at departure lounge bar with obligatory photo of pints posted up on SM with "ah well, be rude not to" caption!!

No problem with it unless they subsequently disrupt the flight!!

Memories of the old airport and the late flight to santa ponsa, People were well steamed boarding the plane, Sing song in the airport bar,

I think Michael O Leary is right here, I don't drink and in all honesty I just cannot understand the logic in people drinking before they get on a flight.
Unless of course they are either alcoholics or are just afraid of flying, so what say you drinkers?

I'm a drinker. Deity knows that I am.

I never drink before a flight though. I've been on a few transatlantic flights where people are a fucking state before they even get on.

Shannon to New York was a particularly memorable one several years ago. Flight was delayed by 3 hours, a couple started getting lashed while-u-wait. Finally boarded - basically fell onto the plane. "Is this my seat? What about this one? This one?? Jesus, I need to sit down!". They got more drinks from the cart, followed by the duty free Jameson being opened and the lad falling in the aisle on his way down to the service galley to get mixers.

From there on out it was either them trying to ride each other in the seat (with a stranger sitting next to them) or arguing.

Ended up roaring the heads off each other at the baggage claim carousel in JFK.

I forgot to mention that the attendants had to move the woman who was sitting next to them after she complained.

And also that yer man got up to try and go to the jacks as the plane was on its final approach to the airport.

"The illuminated seat-belt sign is not a suggestion, sir!!!"

Was on a plane to Las Vegas one time and there were a bunch of brits sitting in front of us having a full blown party. By the time we were landing they were locked and puking in to the sick bags.

One of them was even smoking in the jacks and blamed me for it. The flight attendant called me out and ask me if I was smoking.

I said no....reaching out with my two fingers.

Smell these I said and see for yourself

Sounds like the inspiration for a popular Christmas song.

Speaking of songs, I bet Sandra got a little bit in the sun.

I went on the Saturday night flight to SP with a group of friends in the 1980s. Loads of pre-flight pints but no trouble from anyone on the plane. Happy daze!?

That reminds me of when I was about 15 or 16. Some suck would go "just fingered a buer" and you're kind of like "oh yeah?" then he'd thrust his digits in your face and go "smell my fingers"
