      Oh ya, just ruin the one thing that makes been in Dublin at 6am worthwhile

    2. TomRuse1997 on

      Hard not to think that some of the motivation here is on board beer sales

    4. JackNapier6666 on

      How else are we supposed to stay comfortable on one of his flights if we’re not hammered when boarding? 

    5. North_Account6419 on

      but would he stop selling booze on his flights at the same time? nopeee

    6. KeyZookeepergame9466 on

      … So he can sell you overpriced booze on board instead.

      Yet he will serve drink on his flights at 6am dude is just a money hungry whore at this point who is he to decide what people do in the airport.

      Whether he is right or wrong, I just think to myself, what would he say to people asking him to restrict his capitalist “rights” for the greater societal good?

      He’d tell them to fuck off out of principle and to stop telling others how to manage their business.

      So… my opinion will be the same. Thanks.

      Everytime that geebag opens his mouth just ask yourself how it benefits O’Leary, then you’ll understand his motivations.

      Unreal how hard they run around trying to give people drink on their planes.

      Having a drink used to be part of the fun of flying. Now it’s just something that takes the sting out of what’s become a very horrible, almost hostile, experience

      I mean, what this really suggests is that Ryanair’s gate staff are poor at identifying sloshed passengers and refusing them boarding.

      A ban is a bit severe but I cant see any issue with capping it at 2-3 pints? Doubt anyone other than the offenders would complain

    17. bastardMcBastard on

      He wants them dry so they can wet their whistle on the aircraft 😄

      I’m a nervous flyer, I need a few beers before a flight….. it’s just not natural being that high in the sky…. We are not birds.

      I flew Ryanair from Dublin to Barcelona last Tuesday at 6-something am – and the guy in front of me had 4 double Jamesons on a 2h25min flight.
      Admirable on top of what he had at the airport beforehand.

      Just ban drinkinh at airports full stop, it’s crazy it’s allowed at all given the safety risks it potentially creates.

    22. Cars2Beans0 on

      He doesn’t actually believe this it’s just for headlines and marketing

    23. 5x0uf5o on

      I’m often shocked at the level of boozing some people do before/during flying. Not to generalise but I’ve had a couple trips to Eastern Europe recently and my takeaway is those lads and ladies get absolutely smashed on flights. Solo drinking big bottles of vodka.

      I hate being drunk on a plane but I love my airport pint, it’s my official start of the holiday.

    25. Murphich on

      If Michael O’Leary owned a bar in the airport, he’d have it open 24/7 and charge double the price at 5am during the busy period. Some boyo

    27. JonatanOlsson on

      Yeah, he can fuck right off..

      How about he train his check-in/boarding staff not to let drunk fuckers on board instead?

    28. svmk1987 on

      It’s hard to accept that this is in good faith unless they also stop selling alcohol onboard.

    29. ThisRegion1857 on

      Just for that, I’m going to get twice as pissed as I usually do before boarding

    30. Vodka-Knot on

      Can we urge O’Leary to put himself in a “Ryanair approved” sized cabin bag and fuck off?

    31. oooSiCHooo on

      As long as I can have my Burger King at the airport, I don’t care about alcohol.

    32. SoftDrinkReddit on

      Man is against people spending money that doesn’t go to him and instead wants people to buy alcohol on flights itself

      WHAT A SHOCKING REVELATION

    33. MajesticKnob on

      Pre flight pints no matter the time is almost the best part of travelling

    34. Gus_Balinski on

      I’ve never been put out or inconvenienced by people having morning drinks at the airport but I never got the appeal of a load of pints before a flight, especially a morning flight. I wouldn’t particularly care if they banned it but each to their own I suppose.

    35. johndoe86888 on

      I personally love a beer before the flight. Wont drink on the plane or anymore than 1/2 beers, call me crazy
