Oh god...flight to Ibiza

[duckyfuzzz]

It's going to be full of 17 year olds and hag parties isn't it? It's a night flight. No chance of the kids sleeping then

The hags will probably drop off to sleep after a G&T.

Sorry but it's probably going to be hideous. Load up their tablets and get decent noise cancelling headphones for everyone.

And to top it off... I'm phobic of flying. No chance of relaxing.

Diazepam for you?! Allergy meds for the kids?!
(I am joking, drugging the whole family is probably not wise)

I second loading up the tablets and noise cancelling earphones. The kids will be excited and it’s only a short flight so I expect the chances of them sleeping wouldn’t be very high even if the flight was by some miracle really quiet. Plus at least if they stay awake they’ll crash when you get to the hotel (hopefully).

The holiday will be worth it, keep telling yourself that!

Could be worse, could be on a flight with a screaming child!

Blackbird, I'll probably be sitting next to my screaming child

We took a night flight to ibiza last summer, it was perfectly fine, mostly families. Same on the way home.

I've flown to and from ibiza twice, both times with easyjet. One flight home was overnight. Mostly just families and couples. Flight to Crete however was exactly what you're fearing!

That's hopeful. We're flying with TUI. God I hate flying. Wish it was the morning so I didn't have the day to dwell over it.

They tend to put families near the front and the wild ones near the back of the plane in my Ibiza experience!

Last time I went some twat was surfing along the top of the seats kicking people in the head shouting about how much coke he’d had about how he’d stabbed one of his mates. He was about 30 stone and off his tits sweating like a pig with half his clothes off. It was grotesque. I had the misfortune of standing by him on the shuttle bus and he was staggering about all over the place slurring about drugs and fights. I hoped the fit Spanish police that they normally have at Ibiza airport would come and remove him to a cell and send the disgusting creature back home in the morning . but he got through passport control ok and was allowed to carry on with his holiday.

Still....at least It’s only a couple of hours. I’ve done that flight loads and It’s normally ok.

Tui will be mostly families in package holidays.

Ooh we are flying to Ibiza on Friday evening. Looking forward to it!

Same mend! From Gatwick?

17yr olds can’t afford Ibiza! I have no doubt your flight will be fine...

Hairy it's almost right of passage to do an Ibiza style holiday after as/alevels, no?! I did ayia napa I'm 30 now and the thought makes me cringe.

not anymore *duckyfuzzz my DS and his mates haven't ventured close to Ibiza due to the cost and they are not poor and are now 22. They have done other holidays though

The right of passage involves reading festival after GCSES and a week to an island after A levels and most head to Greece or somewhere like that for a mass package deal. You still get the inter railers too..but not my DS and his mates..

Ibiza is an absolute fortune if your doing the party scene, the youngens will be going to magaluf That said, last time I went to Ibiza (3 years ago to do the party scene) there was a stag do of 40 men so incredibly drunk the pilot refused to take off until they were kicked off

hag parties?

I've flown to Ibiza before with my kids. Seen one hen party and they were quiet. It was a decent flight. I was worried it would be rowdy but it wasn't at all

Yes nectarine quite clearly stag and hen parties. Combined they are known as hag.

Sorry but screaming young children can be just as annoying to other ordinary passengers as hags. Let’s hope your children don’t kick up too much of a fuss OP and everyone can have a peaceful flight.

We did Ibiza, 2 adults 1 child, flight was a night flight, no issues at all.
