Jet2.com is spearheading trials of tamper-proof bags for duty free alcohol at two UK airports in its bid to clamp down on drunken antisocial behaviour on board flights.
The airline has joined forces with World Duty Free (WDF) to trial a scheme at Manchester and Glasgow airports.Jet2 passengers buying alcohol at either airport will have their goods placed in a sealed, tamper-proof bag before boarding to deter them from consuming the booze on flights.
A spokesman for Jet2.com said the bags can only be opened with scissors or a sharp object, which makes it harder for passengers to access what's inside them."We believe that the tamper proof bags will act as an additional barrier and deterrent to this as well as helping our cabin crew to monitor consumption.
"If this trial is successful it is something we will certainly look to permanently introduce at all the airports we fly from."
Doh! If you are travelling with hand baggage only, how then do you open your duty free bag on arrival at your destination, after all, if security have done their job, you will not have scissors or a sharp object in your cabin bag to start with?
Are gate staff going to inspect all duty free bags on boarding and check that all containing alcohol are sealed? Will they then have to inspect all passengers hand baggage to ensure that a duty free bag containing alcohol has not been opened pre boarding and hidden in that bag?
Another, not thought through properly, Yorkshire Airlines mess.
