Violent outbursts are occurring weekly on flights due to alcohol, according to Michael O'Leary.

Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.

Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.

Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.

“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

“But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.”

    People are shit at flying period. You should have to pass a test before being sold an airline ticket. Nothing fancy. Just the basic do’s and don’ts of flying. Perhaps a psychological test for good measure and no skin walkers.

      Do line up window middle isle front to back.

      Don’t dick about in the aisle

      Do sit down and stay seated

      Don’t recline seat ever. You’re just fucking up the person behind you

      Do leave both middle arm rests free for the poor bastard sitting there

      Don’t leave the window shade open if the sun’s beating in.

        No reclining? Fuck that shit-- most of my flights are long as hell and I’m not sitting ramrod straight for 14 hours. I can barely sleep as it is and those extra few degrees of tilt (plus a few beers) are the only thing that lets me get a couple hours passed out.

            I moved roughly halfway around the world from my hometown. Any time I want to see my family I fly 10-14 hours followed by a 3-5 hr connection. Just got back from a trip home that was 29 hours door to door, which was the first time since the pandemic that the airlines didn’t fuck me with delays and missed connections. The last two times were 40+ hours.
