Hen dos at airport!

[AirportObs]

It’s like 540am, a bunch of hens on their way to Benidorm (it says so on their T-shirts). I’d say in their 30s, they were drinking in the security queue (spirits out of like little bottles) then now made it through security and I’m unsure they’ll make plane!

Im in the loo, they came in same time. Three of them are actually vomiting, but that might do them good! f’ing and blinding - shouting the toilet’s stink etc! Singing loudly. Some kids around, little ones so they might not have a clue.

Maybe I’m just no fun anymore in my 40s! But I’m can’t imagine anything worse. But it’s more the behaviour I can see why the Spanish don’t like some British tourists.

Skanks!

Crikey, if they're in that state already they probably won't be allowed to fly.
The thought of drinking this early in the morning is making me feel nauseous and I'm just sat having a coffee while letting the dog out for a wee 😬
Hope you're not on the same flight, safe travels

Now walking around the waiting area singing ‘the sound of the police whoop whoop’ they actually look like they’re having the best time!! I’m not off to Benidorm but that’ll be a lively flight.

two jet2 people just walked past them not looking happy! Let’s hope they’re not flying jet2!

Harsh!

In the security queue they were necking little pink bottles of spirits like little gifts.

They sound like fun! Wish I could join!

Hopefully, since it’s Sunday, they stayed up all last night and will be asleep in their seats in a couple of hours.

If they are booked with Jet2, there's a good chance they won't let them on the plane.

They've had some well publicised issues with drunken people causing trouble on planes including flights having to be diverted and it's reported that they take people to court to recover costs.

They also have an 'onboard together' policy which basically requires people to be decent and civilised.

glad to hear about the onboard policy
imagine sharing a flight with these drunk people

They sound like fun! Wish I could join!

They sound like inconsiderate and obnoxious drunken arseholes.

Yes. I just found their response to a hen party incident in 2017 where they were all kicked off the plane. They certainly didn’t mince their words.

If they're visibly drunk they won't be allowed on the plane. And neither should they be.

Shame we won’t find out what happened!

There has been a steady stream over the past few months of stories on the local news apps of flights been disrupted by drunken behaviour - by men and women. Fights on board, staff and passengers abused and threatened. The flights have had to be diverted.
The people involved must have been absolutely steaming drunk when they boarded and I fail to see how it's not been noticed before take off. I dont understand how they were allowed to board.
It must be absolutely terrifying for the other passengers. Not to mention the delays caused to the start of their holidays because of these incidents.

As an aside why would anyone want to drink alcohol so early in the day? Yuck.
I'm just glad I'm not on their flight.

As far as getting past gate staff and cabin crew are concerned unfortunately some people are very good at hiding being drunk to some degree for as long as required/start topping up on board having sneaked their own supply onboard.

There may be an issue at some airports where the local staff are perhaps a bit too keen to get rid of a problem and so dump the whole process on the crew at the door….which takes us back to my first point..some people can hide being drunk, at least for a few minutes.

Those are interesting points.

The incidents I've read about have all been on flights from one or other of two local airports.
And the problem really has been offloaded: one flight had only just taken off when the guy started attacking crew members and the flight had to be diverted to Ireland - he had to be physically restrained on board and was arrested on landing.

I find it quite sad that some folks feel the need to be roaring drunk to have a good time. One of my friends told me recently that she couldn’t remember a night out - what’s the point?!

Agree, hope they aren't allowed to board. Let them sober up at the airport.

Being so drunk at 5.00am that you are vomiting is sad to say the least.

You shouldn’t need to be blindly drunk to have fun.

And I truly hope they won’t be allowed on their flight. I feel for anyone who would be seated close to them.

Have fun, yes. But not at the detriment if everyone else peace.
How that sort of behaviour is considered by some as ok is baffling tbh.

I’d be amazed if they even get on the plane, either they will be stopped at the gate or won’t even make it that far!

if they do make it to Benidorm…if they cause problems on the flight they might have the issues getting back with the same airline as they are very happy to ban trouble makers!

So had to rush for my flight and didn’t see them so I’m assuming all went well for the hen do! Although mine was to Portugal and I’m here, clam flight bar one little baby who was very sad.

Being drunk at 5am, vomiting, cursing and being generally obnoxious is Skanky behaviour.

I don't get it either. My experience is that these people can be quite boring as they "peak" too early. By the time they get to the hotel they'll go straight to bed and you won't see them til the next day. And then it'll be, "Oh I think I've eaten something, you go on ahead" for the rest of the trip.

Half the time I think that's the plan. They get to swerve having to do any "hen" activities but can still be the centre of attention, "ooh babe what are you like" etc

You were on the phone in the toilet? 🤮
