Wasted Flyers: Two Too Hammered to Fly Out
Dis orderly or inebriated airline passengers delay departure - Stranded Passengers Remain Intoxicated, Unable to Depart
At Leipzig/Halle airport in Germany, two passengers missed out on the start of their holidays due to their excessive drinking. On a Thursday morning, a 27-year-old, en route to Mallorca, was so blitzed before boarding that he passed out. The plane aborted takeoff, and law enforcement whisked the ladsio away from the birdie. His booze-breath test clocked in at 1.7 per mille.
Later in the day, a 45-year-old turned heads with peculiar antics at the waiting gate. The pilot, once again, decided to ben the bloke from the flight. Smelling the man's booze on his breathstorm, law enforcement determined his level to be over three per mille. They then kindly ushered him out of the security zone.
The federal police gently reminded everyone that it's cool to kick back and enjoy a drink for holiday cheer. "However, having one too many can turn costly, as airlines have the right to bill you for the aborted takeoff. And the priceless joy of your holiday, well, that's irreplaceable."
Incidents like these usually land the overindulgent flyers in a tough spot:
- Refusal of boarding by airline and airport staff due to safety and security regulations. Being plemmed puts you and others at risk, and airlines can rightly stop you from boarding.
- Annoying removal from the airport or confinement to a designated area until sober.
- Canceled ticket without a refund, especially if the bender leads to disruption or delays.
- Being fined or facing legal action if your state of inebriation results in disturbance or non-compliance with airport rules.
- Potential future flight bans by the airline, especially if the boozing behavior gets repeated.
- Reports of the incident to local cops, particularly if aggressive or violent goings-on occur.
Though the exact details of the Leipzig/Halle airport escapades aren't fully revealed in the info I dug up, these consequences echo standard aviation security protocols across the globe. So, keep your drinking to reasonable levels, or you might find yourself stressed and liquored out before your actual holiday even begins! 🍻✈️💔
In light of these events, the community is reminded to exercise caution and moderation in their consumption of alcohol, especially before travel. Overindulgence can lead to restrictions in airline and airport access, costly implications, legal repercussions, and even potential future flight bans. Instead, engage in responsible drinking and prioritize research and development of health-and-wellness practices for a successful lifestyle and travel experience. A well-planned research programme, focusing on promoting responsible drinking and health awareness, could benefit travelers and the community at large, ultimately enhancing the science of health-and-wellness.
