Més wants to introduce a code of best practice to tackle drunkenness on planes and at airports. The party is taking its lead from the UK, where the government has set out such a code. This is designed in particular to prevent incidents occurring, of which the majority appear to involve flights to the Balearics.

Alcohol is the worst drink you can take before and during flying. The body dehydrates on climb to the cruise. Similarly on descent to Finals. Airports will have to restrict the sale of Alcohol in bars and so termed duty free. Also, Airlines must stop the sales of alcohol during a flight. Drunks are a major problem for cabin crew. Drunken passengers, in an emergency situation are most likely to die on evacuation in the sea, or on land. They will cause other passengers to lose their lives because of their inebriated very slow dulled responses.
Travelling with drunken " STAG " and " Hen " party's is very distressing. If not frighyening, when one drunk tried to open the Aircraft door. Re cently an emergency landing caused by drunks, incurred a £15,000.00 fine that the drunks had to pay. They had to find another flight and Airline that would accept them. The minimum charge that drunken passengers have to pay, should there be an emergency diverted landing . Is £5000.00. Plus finding another flight.
Drunken people on flights is really not a major problem, Mes need to get real and focus on low quality tourism. I think you will find that if you solve the latter, you also solve the former!
