SunExpress’s German-American boss Max Kownatzki told trade publication TTG that one special flight operated by the Turkish airline for a group of Brits on a golfing break was drunk dry in the space of 25-minutes.

He said Brit travellers are “more high-spend, more hedonistic.”

    i think if you live your life dictated solely by your relative likelihood to die suddenly you might need to get some therapy

      Then I am happy to report that I am not i that category, I don’t worry that it will happen on my plane, but that doesn’t mean I am going to be reckless.

      I think it is a bigger issue that you can’t go a few hours without drinking alcohol.

        “can’t go without” is such a weird way to describe people who drink on planes

        like i get that the entire point of this is some weird moralistic high horse thing, but if you’re going on a plane to travel for leisure, the entire thing is already unnecessary

        “wow people physically can’t even go 2 years without a trip away what addicts”

          Moral has nothing to do with it, logic has, I don’t want to be stuck next to a drunk guy in case of an accident.

            presumably you’d never drink at a bar or restaurant either then? because obviously you’re far more likely to need to respond to something there than on a plane

            and given what percentage of accidents happen in the home, i guess that’s out too

              I have never really gone out to a bar or restaurant to drink, that has never interested me, I do go to restaurants and from time to time have a glass of cider or wine with my food, but then I mostly switch to water.

              I can confidentally say that I have never been drunk in my 36 years, it has never interested me.
