A group of British holidaymakers drank the entire stock of booze for a four-hour flight to Turkey in the space of just 25 minutes, an airline boss has revealed.

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.”

    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”

          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.
