Had to fly down to Perth at short notice so get on the plane this morning and it's choccas full, get my seat in the second last row and sorted behind me is a bloke covered in tatts, big rings in his ears and with him a woman and a young baby. Take my seat next to a bloke who was in his 60s but in good shape and looked like he had seen a scrap or 2.
Plane takes off and old mate behind us is swearing and carrying on and orders a rum which for some reason he got served, after about 2 hours and several rums being served to old mate he's getting louder and starts kicking the back of the bloke next to me chair, well the bloke next to me has had enough and gets up and lets this knucklehead have it, and tells him in no uncertain words that if he wants to continue it off the plane he would kindly ablige.
Well old mate was as quiet as a mouse and scurried off eith not a word said.
I am going to write a letter of complaint to the airline about serving this knucklehead alcohol at 10am in the morning
I know I wouldn't have wanted to tackle the bloke sitting next to me, he didnt say much, but he didn't need to. About 6 people came up and thanked him at the baggage claim area.

SubscriberI hope you do write a letter. I don't mind a drink or two when flying to pass the time but I sit with my headphones on and chuckle to myself. I don't like people who ruin it for everyone else.

Go for it with the letter Ean.
I used to fly hell of a lot in a previous job, and I got to sit next to a large number of weirdos in that time. Everything from a guy that the AFP came on and cuffed and removed as soon as we landed, to a woman who was so terrified of flying that she spent the entire journey alternately vomiting into the sick bag and crying and moaning.
The one that annoyed me the most though, was a guy on a night flight from Singapore. Sitting next to me in business class, he launched straight into the spirits right after take off. And when I ordered a camomile tea with honey instead of alcohol, so that I could get straight to sleep, he sat there calling me a ****ing poofter.
Of course he sat there ringing his bell every few minutes for the cabin crew to bring him another drink, waking me up each time.
Very much a case of "my company have paid for business class, so I'm going to get everything I can out of it".

That's a bit harsh. Yes babies/kids can be annoying, but an obnoxious adult can be worse and should know better.Originally Posted by garrycol

Last time I came back on a flight from overseas. (8 hour flight) the Kid jumped up and down on the seat, and screamed for the whole flight. The parents attitude was oh well he just a kid! The stewardess was very good! She tried to settle the kid down most of the flight. Most of the passengers were annoyed with the parents for not settling the kid down.
I just wanted a quite drink and a sleep. I had a drink but no sleep. oh well such is life.

Haven't done a lot of flying myself, but I've heard about this sort of stuff.
IMHO, there should be rules, and they should be enforced,...but like a lot of things these days, no-one gives a stuff.
Cheers, Pickles.
