- one of whom's not the world's greatest flyer.

Why not deal with the actual root cause, as opposed to just getting blotto? - ie his fear of flying ...

Does this mean that he will have to have a bottle of wine on the flight back and on every flight he takes?

I've seen alcohol taken from pax on many occasions on the Dublin-Krakow route, usually just with a word of warning. On a more recent flight when a pax refused to hand over the offending vodka bottle, the pilot made a brief announcement to say - if the item was not handed over to cc immediately he would make an immediate return to Dublin where Gardai would be waiting at the gate. That did it ...

Given the problems it causes due the the irresponsibility of the stupid few, I'm all for banning consumption of alcohol on flights. I enjoy a glass of wine or a shot of whisky as much as anyone else, but I can do without it.


Agreed - time to ban alcohol on short haul flights for a start...
