Don't shout that you are carrying a bomb!

Overheal or Madsl will put you up I'm sure.

The Backwards Man · 01-12-2015 04:30AM

Through security and all, but my washbag is in my suitcase in the boot of the plane and the only bloody deoderant they have for sale is Lynx/Axe. Half tempted to buy a bottle of Scotch in Duty Free and cover meself in it. Nice wee black girl working in there, I was telling her all about Donegal

You sir may have a drinking problem...

Stop telling her about donegal, mention the turf man! Steady supply of Ireland finest peat based fuel, (who doesn't like a man with enough turf to fire a power station?!? I'm shliding of the sthool as I type!!) , ye missed a trick there imo.

Do the Americans love to queue up at the gate as soon as possible for their allocated seat?

LaVail · 01-12-2015 06:53AM

Take a line to straighten yourself

I've been drunk boarding many a plane. As long as you're not stumbling around drunk or being an ass (loud and obnoxious) then you'll be grand.

Tarzana2 · 01-12-2015 09:14AM

Nope, but I've been diazepamed up to my eyeballs. Used to be terrified of flying (happily am no longer) and took a load of it before getting a flight from Prague to Dublin. Talked shíte to the poor unfortunate next to me on the plane for most of the flight then got into the seat beside my sister and spend ages trying to hug her with her batting me away.

I've been drunk many a time getting on planes as I fly a lot due to my job.
It's usually fine, but sometimes it really hits hard.
A few strong coffees help balance me out.

It's scary sometimes when I fall asleep with all that movement and turbulance, only to be woken up by the guy beside me shouting:

'Wake up captain!!!!!'

Love a drink but never been drunk on a plane and the idea of being so does not appeal to me at all. Being strapped in a chair whilst jarred and wanting to move around seems like an ordeal to me.

Travelled recently in a group with one person who said he drank as he was a nervous flyer, I'm convinced he's just an alcho who uses the flying as an excuse as he didn't stop drinking when he got off the plane.

The Sidewards Man · 01-12-2015 12:50PM

Don't be playing with your self now on the plane.

harry Bailey esq · 01-12-2015 01:06PM

I've never boarded a plane sober,normally fire a few Valium/xanax down the neck too,just for the buzz like, I'm not a nervous flyer but the drink and benzos help with the in-flight boredom.

It's not the winning, it's the going home with more than you left with that counts.

So, eh, ten or fifteen dollars.

Don't think Phil Ruffin or Steve Wynn would have much interest in my humble abode tbh.

Never been sober. The last few I was sloshed after spending a few hours in the lounge, but was flying business so they didn't question it so long as I wasn't acting the tosser or being loud. Once I got on the plane, it was fun. They asked what I wanted and I said "One of everything on the cocktail menu" ... my wish was their command.

The food was grand

On one of my last flights, we were in between a bulkhead, where economy had to pass us. I felt horrible when kids boarded and were like "oh mommy this plane is really cool", only to be shuffled back to cattle class. Poor little buggers were a bit disappointed, I bet.

Thankfully, I asked to move up further to the front and they moved me right away. Dubai - BKK business was quiet so plenty of space... infact only about 8 of us in business so had great craic with the cabin crew. I spilled wine all over the place and the cabin crew apologised to ME about it. Talk about poker face.

Yeah, but you don't get there any quicker like.

Yep, coming back from Germany about 18 yrs ago. Got rid of 7 months of deutsch mark coinage in a 3 hour Jager spree in Frankfurt Airport. Needed it after walking in on a collective male gathering of hand-shandieing in the toilets deep in the depths of the bahnhof station under the airport on the way there.

Apparently I was trying to get Ronan Keatings cousin to sing on board but he wouldn't, so I did instead.

Took them over an hour to wake me in Dublin to disembark. Round of applause from the flight crew and stewardess' and off I went.

Died a death on the late night Nestor bus back to Galway from the Jager plus some girl telling me my antics on the flight which also included shoeing the donkey dance.

I actually wish it got us there slower. I had no desire to get off the plane. Wonderful experience. The only down-side is going back to economy (Flying around Europe the past year it's all been economy seats)
