#THEMS ARE FIGHTING WORDS
A beer at 5 am is the only way to make a Ryanair flight bearable.
The airport is one of the few places where you can have a beer at 9am and not get judged.
Dear Ryanair CEO. People aren’t angry at your company and your staff because they are drunk. They are angry because you have a shitty company.
You need a beer at 5 in the morning when you fly Ryanair.
bet he has to many delayed and canceled flights because his passengers are drunk
To fight the pain they cause my knees I don’t need a beer, I need a freaking fentanyl IV.
Addicts,it is simple as that.
Da gade gij nie bepalen!
look, i need that beer and several more beers so i am semi-comatose before getting on your stuffed tin can with zero legspace, causing me to die of leg cramps after 1 hour, you call a plane.
to relax the nerves because you will be flying with ryanair
People from Asia with a jetlag might wanna have a beer at 5 in the morning.
Not myself but there are many people with flying anxiety and they may opt to drink a beer (or two) before a flight instead of getting prescription pills. If you don’t want people drunk on your plane:
1) Don’t serve it on your planes.
2) Put that in the terms and conditions of your company so people who do want it, can choose to fly with someone else.
3) Buy the airports so you can set the rules if its such an issue.
First time that man says something sensible
It’s fiveoclock somewhere
Wasn’t the Irish Coffee an invention by the Shannon Airport to give jet-lagged travelers? There is irony in here somewhere.
If we can’t cancel beer at truck stops int he middle of the freeway, we sure as hell won’t stop beer on vacation spots!
alcoholics. i seen ppl order a beer at 7 at the hospital so..
Honestly shocking when I see people down half litera of Tripel Karmeliet at Charleroi airport at 5 AM. For once the guy is right.
Yet he probably sells beer on his early morning flight at double the price ?
Need to prepare for the future jet lag by offsetting my drinking habits.
I’m drinking my beer at 5AM because it’s already 7AM in my destination country.
Antwoord op deze vraag: alcoholisten. En dat zijn er heel wat in ons landje.
Next week “CEO Ryanair increases availability of alcoholic beaverages on flights. Profits skyrocket.”
Gotta respect the traditions.
2 places one can drink before 8am and no one should judge you.
Airports and Golf Courses.
who need salary each month?
Ok, yes. But with the difference that he doesn’t give a flying f%*k about the well being of his passengers or humanity as a whole. He only cares about problems in his flights with the usual drunkards, causing delays and operational problems with police having to step in, any security problems, the typical and usual bad publicity etc etc.
(edit: also a good point that I see here… his flights are not only early in the morning)
They should allow people to consume cannabis instead of the hard drug of legale alcohol.
Cannabis is a much pleasant drunkness with no bad side effects on the tomorrows. It is not for everyone but it is because of the hypocrites who keep blaming weed over alcohol that we deserve nothing good ever.
It’s beer-o-clock somewhere in the world every hour!
People with flight anxiety.
Why, so he can sell them their first drink on the plane instead?
Just stfu Ryan.
He probably wants it so more people buy their insanely priced beers on the flight itself so that people get off the plane drunk instead of getting on it drunkenly.
Time stops existing as soon as I smell the clusterfuck of perfume in the tax free shop.
Therefore, any beers that may follow, arrive precisely when they need to.
Dude with too much money, breaking every tax-law known to men, asking for prohibition.
What about: go play outside, hide and fuck yourself.
apparently never worked night shifts, the grifter.
