  • Don't get much sleep and you'll soon pass out on the plane.

    My best tip for drinking on a plane is to always have the wine. Beer and spirits are a rip-off, but with wine you usually get a reasonable sized drink.

    Surely be free on a flight to The States

    Quite possibly, but you've still got to get them. Anyone drinking those silly little beer cans is going to be calling for the stewardess every five minutes.

    Not sure about US airlines which are the flying equivalent of a charity shop. You might get beer or wine in economy, almost certainly not spirits (or champagne).

    American Airlines give free beer and wine, $8 for a spirit + mixer. They ran out of beer about 2 hrs into my flight to LA a couple of weeks ago !

    Getting smashed on/before a 2hr flight to Majorca is a good idea, getting ruined on a 10hr flight to the States is a very, very bad idea - no matter how much fun it sounds.


    This 100% although personally I wouldn't consider 10 hours long haul. 1 meal , couple of movies and the a kip would see you through that easy
  • Half a g up each nostril just before you go through security control.
  • Check the airline website to see what movies are on, and whether the seats have power sockets or not, as you can use them to power a tablet during the flight

  • Strange but little known US rule. You must drink half the value of your ticket before landing in the USA.

    ...blimey. I'm guessing that your 5'2'' and don't suffer from arthritis in that case ;-)

    couple of films, 2 episodes of Only Fools & Horses you've seen x100 before, x3 of The Big Bang Theory, see where you are on the flight indicator x45, listen to a best of Billy Joel album, watch a documentary on monkeys renovating a township in South Africa, spend 2 hours trying to get the volume button to work properly and another hour pressing the ear phones they give you so hard to your head so you can hear anything that it makes your scalp hurt and your journey's done.

    Sounds EXACTLY like the flight I just took!
  • Did he get there?
  • Don't fly over a warzone.

    Yes hi from Texas. It's cute that you care. ;-)
  • Read Curbs' book
  • I'm in first to Vegas on Saturday with Virgin. Going to drink my bodyweight in beer and Jack Daniels :-)
  • On the way back see how many 'danger poos' you can have before getting caught.

  • Typhoon's currently escorting him back to Stansted.
  • Callum, try the Flying Saucer bar in Houston, see how far you get through the beer menu.

    As you didn't say either "Hi Y'all" or "Howdy" - I don't believe you!
