Earlier this week, Jet2 reminded its passengers of how serious the consequences of "disruptive passenger behaviour" can be.
A woman was jailed for four months having drunk duty-free booze and lit up a cigarette on one of its flights.
Summer is here, you wouldn't think it, but 'officially' it is.
Brits preparing to go abroad will have a long to-do list, as there are clothes to be washed and packed, money to be changed, and travel insurance to be obtained.
After all this stress, that first airport pint hits something different. But remember, don't overdo it.
Longer you delay my flight the more drunk I’ll be. I get VERY tactile so maybe consider your staff’s wellbeing @Ryanair

Up-to-date guidance from TUI, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 regarding taking alcohol on board flights:
TUI
TUI's website states: that "only alcohol served by the crew may be consumed onboard, and in moderation only" and adds: "No Duty Free alcohol may be consumed onboard, including any alcohol purchased in the airport, or from our crew onboard.
"We may decide to refuse to carry you or your baggage if ... you present yourself for travel whilst being – perceived or otherwise – under the influence of controlled substances (including, but not exclusive to alcohol, narcotics, or other medicinal products) which may influence judgement, behaviours, or actions whilst onboard.
easyJet
An easyJet spokesperson told the ECHO: "Like all other airlines, we have strict guidelines about the consumption of alcohol onboard and our crew are trained on serving alcohol and any passenger who appears to be under the influence of alcohol will be refused further alcohol.
"Prior to departure we communicate our alcohol policy to customers and ask that should they wish to consume alcohol purchased onboard, that they do so responsibly, considering others onboard."

The travel operator also said it "reserves the right to serve alcoholic drinks at our absolute discretion.
"Anyone who is deemed to be 'misbehaving, acting disruptively, or otherwise endangering or inconveniencing other customers or members of the Flight Deck or Cabin Crew' may be refused entry to the flight or removed from the aeroplane."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
