'Animals' was in the original post by one of the passengers.  Pretty awful, we British have something  of a deserved reputation.

You mean you would accept such unruly, concouth and loud mouthed behaviour of a 12 hour flight to Bangkok as long as everyone was seated and buckled up? Why do I believe you certainly would not?

Totally agree. But note that the flight was to Ibiza. This is one of several desinations in Europe for groups of young Brritish men seeking a weekend of intense boozing and rowdy behaviour. I absolutely don't condone it and I would have been furious had I been on that aircraft (a low cost short-haul carrier). These booze-fuelled week-ends are increasingly and rightly frowned upon within the UK.

of course , you would too and everybody else for that matter for simple reason - do we have another choice locked in sliver tube speeding 900 km / hr at 10 km attitude. 

I was not pleasant but tooth pain isn't either and somehow we carry on 

It's airlines fault to board obviously intoxicated

No! I certainly would not! As you write, pasenger behaviour is the responsibility of the airline and its on-board crew. I do not believe any long-haul airline would accept this level of intoxication from quite a few passengers who would seriously be affecting other passengers. After a suitable number of warnings I believe the airline would divert and have the passengers arrested.

Is there any other poster here who would be prepared to accept this disgusting, loud-mouthed ultra-noisy behaviour on a 12-hour flight? Personally, I doubt it!

I like to see such diversion mid flight between Tokyo or Los Angeles. 

I'm not disputing what you say at all, what I'm saying , unless airline will take some drastic measures we all wish she do we have no option that endure , whether we like or not. You wouldn't be deplaning over ocean , would you ?

Sure , at destination passenger will be arrested to passengers delight but horror they had is theirs forever.

You have heard of Midway and Hawaii, I assume? All pilots have a list of airports to which they can divert in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Diversions do occur and for a number of reasons, rowdy uncontrollable behaviour being only one. Many years ago I was on a Northwest flight from Honolulu to MSP with a connection on the New York where I had arranged a lunch with a business friend. As the aircraft approached the runway in Honolulu I took a sleeping pill with the last gulp of my champagne. I almost always set my watch to destination time. When I eventually awoke, I was surprised when I heard that arrival at MSP would be approx. three hours later than scheduled but informed all who had been booked on connecting flights had been rebooked on to the next available flights. 

I called the FA to ask why the massive delay. She explained that a couple of hours after departing Honolulu a passanger had had a heart attack and the flight had been diverted to San Francisco. The crew could not wake me and so merely put my seat in the upright position, and then put it back when we took off again. Hence the overlong delay! 

Naturally I blamed the champagne! 🤣

your life is unending string of horrors it seems

Horrors? Once again, and with respect, you totally exaggerate! I have been extremely fortunate in my life in having spent more than half of it working for major companies based in Asia, and this has entailed a huge amount of regular international travel - I estimate around 8 million kms and counting, most of it thankfully in business class. Just by the law of averages, there are going to be things like an occasional diversion, a couple of aborted landings, an aborted take off at Hong Kong. These are not horrors. A horror would be an aircrash followed either by death or permanent injury.

At least I have not had to suffer endless and repeated trips to Thailand squashed in to the back of an aircraft and having to pay for that pleasure myself! 🤣

I always thought people should be proud of paying of their own way instead of depending on kindness of somebody else and now you crushed my fragile ego

What are you talking about? Fragile ego? As you know perfectly well the people who paid for most of my air tickets, my hotels and other expenses were mostly business corporations, my employers! You consider that is the kindness of someone else? That's frankly nonsense! You mean to say you get no benefit whatever of any kind from your employer which you do not pay for?

Then when I paid for myself, much of the time it was a result of using the mileage and hotel points earned when on business. You suggest I should have been paying my own way? FYI I did pay cash for intercontinental air tickets to return home for the illnesses and funerals of my mother, father, uncle and a very close friend. As for the rest of my travelling, please do not be so facile!

nothing wrong with extracting concessions from your employer but modesty would suggest it's better  to keep both spoils and news about them  to ourselves. Otherwise millions of our readers who are lucky if they get their paycheque on time may have their feelings hurt out of jealousy

I still have no clue what you are on about. You reckon I extracted concessions from my employer? That has to be one of your jokes! They were the benefits advertised by the employer for anyone who wished to be considered for employment. They were nothing like concessions! They were an essential part of the job!

You reckon millions of readers to not get their paychecks on time? That is another joke?

yes on both counts but since you freely admit of not getting it,  let me ask you openly to  restrain yourself with all that  boasting about fancy flights , hotels , meals and drinks in your stories  for simple reason -  it smells low self esteem and you deserve better. 

One of our regular posters on his last visit flew to Thailand first class and stay in suite in one of top hotels and still all he  did tell us  was ' comfortable flight " and ' not a bad room".

as they say ' you ask and you will be answered"

Does remind me of an incident from my younger days. Was on a long weekend rugby tour from the Gatwick in the UK to Toulon in France. About 30 of us, so needless to say, a few were sunk waiting to be called.

Our Entertainments Officer briefed everyone as to their duty. In the early days of Squeezy Jet (aka EasyJet, ie the same carrier as in the video), apart from the few that paid for front row or the over wing legroom seats, the rest of the plane was free for all. So everyone was tasked to get an aisle seat. 

As the the plane started to accelerate from the end of the runway, the command "Oars out" was shouted, having rolled up the in-flight magazine, everyone stuck their hands out holding their magazine, and when queued all bust out into the theme song from Hawaii-Five-O whilst rowing as the plane took off. All the passengers and crew had a laugh, in fact most of the passengers joined in on the singing, once airborne, normal service was resumed.
