Experiences flying with Sleazey jet...

[Du1point8]

I know, I know I made the mistake of choosing them, but I thought it would be the lesser of 2 evils when flying out to Sharm and then transfering to Dahab.

I should have spotted the first sign when the family including 3 brats decided to sit near me on the flight and he was the stero typical london wide boy with his now aging trophy wife with a sewed on skull and cross bones with sequins, then after the older of the 3 childern smacked the youngest (8 or so) in the head with her bag when putting it in the over head locker and laughing at him for being in the way... I should have moved then and there to another seat... but no!!

Not even when the the grandparents of said family turn up half cut at 8am, him sounding like a reject out of a cigar QA team that every other word was fk this and fk that and she was asking if should could now smoke on the plane now...

So I plug the headphones in and try and ignore them but by this time they are trying to make friends with the people next to them which is another 2 wide boys who instantly bring out a litre of vodka and tell them this will be an interesting flight... Que the drinks rolling as the flight takes off, how the cabin crew didnt spot it at this stage as they were the only ones drinking and the rest hadn't been served yet with booze run at 9am I will never know.

The next 90mins or so are a blur of leering at the other female passengers infront of his wife, drinking copious amounts of vodka between the 6 of them, watching the 3 kids take turns punching each other and hanging off the seats in front of them and shaking them to the annoyance of the other victims on the flight.

Finally a cabin crew notice that they are drinking their own vodka and get a warning to stop doing it as its illegal... that lasted 5 mins, then they got sneaky by buying several small bottles of vodka and cola and filling them up with vodka once the purchased drinks are gone...

Warning number 2 comes and goes but this mouth breather only plays dumb and comes up with a new tactic and gets each on of the group to periodically go into the toilets and top up the now empty bottles with vodka so they cant be seen by the crew but everyone else around knows about it and they are talking so loud about it the whole fking plane can hear it... at this stage the grandfather is completely hammered and lets out a rendition of what he would like to do to the quite fit teenager nearby that would make father Jack blush, in fact I think he is a fatter version of father Jack...

Quick diversion as one of the kids punches another and makes them cry.

Finally after numerous complaints by other passengers they are confronted and have to hand over the now empty bottle of vodka... and told to stop as they can be handed over to the cops in Sharm (like that will happen), Father learns a new trick which then becomes an answer to everything, every time his drunk father jack says that sounds like a question or a comment he shouts:

'YES.. DAD!!'

So faced with the fact that the vodka is now gone and they are running low on drink what do they do, they buy and consume several bottles of sleazy jet champers, supplied by the very same crew that told them to behave and slow down their drinking, after the 6/7 bottle are finished they think they are in the good books so bottle number 2 of vodka comes out much to the dismay of the rest of the passengers... Father jack look a like passes out and does his best impression of a buzz saw to the families amusement.

Daughter with hair line lip or at least sounds like it turns round to mother and says:

'Aint we posh cause we is drinking champers'

Several giggles from family as they agree that they are posher than the rest of us poor people that are not buying the champers...

(At this point I should have just bought the whole stock on the plane to fk them off)

Several more complaints and the cabin crew do nothing and in the mean time the 6 of them are getting more drunk and rude...

Meantime grand mother has decided that she needs a slash and tells everyone before nipping to the toilet and at that point the smoke can be smelt and young one comes running back to same granny is smoking in the toilets, the father goes back and contfronts the pissed off cabin crew and asks if they saw her smoking at which point they say no and he says well if they have not caught her it didnt happen and they should shut up and be quiet... hes quite happy at the fact that she did smoke but because its here say (no evidence) they can do no more and he tells his mother off for doing it in front of them (how much more evidence do they need)...

Bottle number 2 is nearing completion and the noise that everyone is waiting for is heard:

'Cabin crew please take your seats, 15 mins to landing'

A slient cheer can be heard...

As the plane makes its final approach (30ft off the ground) father Jack wakes up, shouts:

'fk me I need a quick drink'

Proceeds to unbuckle the seat belt and stand up and wander off to find a 'fking trolley dolly' to get him a drink... rest of family pounce and drag him back and as his arse hits the seat we land.

Mother then takes out her cigs and tries to light one saying that its fine as they are not in the air flying now... cigs and lighter are taken off her sharpish...

The whole family are aided down the stairs as they are all hammered (minus the kids I think) and they carry on and open the bottle of vodka and finish it off on the bus journey to arrivals...

What happened to the family I hear you ask, were they meet with police, or a ban from sleazy jet???

NOT A fkING THING...

Thank fk they stayed in Sharm and I went to Dahab.

What an excellent example they made to the foreigners on how the English are well mannered and not yobs when abroad... Last ever time I flight that shower of st!!

Rant done.

(not enough swearing I know and I wish it had gone a different way but hey)

Scum. Subhuman scum.

Try flying sleasy jet into Munich during late September, the whole aircraft is full of them.

However, im still annoyed that i was woken up to be told to remove my ear plugs for landing on my usual 6am flight into Munich. Why the hell do i need to hear whats going on in the cabin?

[lawrence567]

Flown via Easyjet loads of times, not had a problem with any of what you just said.
Only thing remotely like that was a stag do who were going to Prague at the same time as us, they gave him an outfit to wear & he had to put it on in the toilet & do the walk of shame back through the plane & through arrivals in Prague.
It consisted of a Borat thong, flipflops, a shower cap, & marigolds.
He did get a hgue round of applause from the plane though as it was November time!

[Muzzer]

How is any of that Easyjet's fault?

You can have rowdy passengers on any airline.

Blame the pikey family, not the airline.

[soad]

Good ranting.

Fook is a london wide boy though? Chavs you mean?

Well takeoffs and landings are traditional points for things to go 'unexpectedly' during air travel. I would wager being able to hear cabin crew announcements / instructions in such an eventuality could be construed as useful.

First and the last line fit well together, not sure you needed all those other words in between.

Is it just the staff that is EASY by the way? or is that part sleazy also.

[Davel]

I enjoyed that - thank's for sharing.

They had several complaints of the excessive drinking and then took their bottle of vodka away and then were happy to sell them loads of their own booze and caught them again with a second bottle of vodka but only asked them to please stop drinking it... then sold them more booze.

Therefore they only care if it is their booze you are drinking and not your own, yet not how much of it and what affect it is having on the other passengers near by.

Sadly, this is simply a sad reflection of society rather than the airline.

I appreciate that everyone is different but sometimes you do look at the behaviour of some people and wonder on what basis their conduct is in any way acceptable. I can’t remember the airline but I do remember walking down the plane steps after landing at Manchester Airport several years ago and the woman in front of me proceeding to light up a cigarette whilst walking right next to one of the plane’s engines. I think she nearly soiled herself when one of the ground crew ran, who was standing by his tanker waiting to refuel the plane, ran over screaming “Aviation fuel, put that f**king cigarette out!”. She told him to f**k off and threw her cigarette on the ground. As she wandered into the terminal building I heard her muttering to her friend about it being ridiculous that she couldn’t smoke in an outside location and how she was going to complain. Words failed me.

But Id like to die peacefully in my sleep

i agree with the above comments, its not the airlines fault about who flies with them

the airline have a duty of care to provide comfortable flight of a reasonable standard to all its customers

if the pikey family were indeed as drunk as the op says then there's the issue of supplying an intoxicated person with drink.

Good rant!

This was the best bit:

I try and avoid the budget airlines unless they are a quick hop into Europe.

Bit of both but the father could actually put a sentence together that didnt have the words 'init' and 'like' as the main contributions to the sentence and didnt look like like he was the bd offspring of his chav inbreeding.

Hence london wide boy like eastenders type of person.

(please note: I have never actually watched eastenders, only accidental flicked the channel on when wanting to find something good on and flicked it back over when I realise what it is on tv)

Peasants.

Unfortunately since the demise of the feudal system and the introduction of credit cards these people are no longer limited to the fields.

Another interesting thought to boil your piss, I suspect that vodka and later the champagne was purchased with tax payer money.

In over 300 flights to Dublin in 2 years, only one was delayed. I never lost luggage and the staff were always helpful.

Mind you I paid an average of £10 per flight so adjusted my expectations accordingly.

I fly Easy Jet twice a year, only problems I have had is late departures. Service otherwise is fine. I think you have to look at the destination and what type of person it appeals to. When I use them I've yet to spot a chav or a football shirt.

Correct. How do you think you're able to buy a ticket for so little?
