SunExpress’s German-American boss Max Kownatzki told trade publication TTG that one special flight operated by the Turkish airline for a group of Brits on a golfing break was drunk dry in the space of 25-minutes.

He said Brit travellers are “more high-spend, more hedonistic.”

I have never understood why people drink alcohol before and during flights, if there is an accident surely you want to be as alert as possible to maximize your ability to respond quickly to the situation?

And if you are soo terrified of flying that you need to be at least a bit tipsy to fly, get some therapy or don't fly.

The chances of an accident while flying on an airline are probably a lot lower than the chances of having an accident going to and from the pub.

Correct, but the outcome of a plane crash is far more severe.
