Ryanair Bans Booze on UK Flights to Ibiza
Duty-free alcohol banned on all UK flights for comfort & safety of passengers
As we reported in April this year the budget airline, Ryanair, banned alcohol on flights from Scotland to Ibiza due to several major disruptions on flights in recent years.
With recent news of 'raves on planes', abusive language and arrests at airports due to drunken behaviour, Ryanair has now issued information to passengers to alert them to the new rules.
The airline confirmed any alcohol purchased after security checks would now have to be placed in hold luggage or disposed of at the departure gate.
"If the alcohol is unsuitable for placing in the hold (eg a plastic bag) then customers will be required to dispose of the alcohol in the bins provided."
It added: "Boarding gates will be carefully monitored and customers showing any signs of anti-social behaviour or attempting to conceal alcohol will be denied travel without refund or compensation."
The comfort and safety of other passengers and crew members has been cited as the reason behind the new regulations. Just this week a video was published showing a group of 'lads on holiday' singing and swearing in front of young families and ignoring instructions from cabin crew to refrain for the sake of the other passengers on board.
So don't let this anti-social behaviour put you off booking your flights to Ibiza, rest assured that the airlines and the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) have your comfort and safety in mind. See you in Ibiza soon!
