Ryanair travellers subjected to knucklehead 'hell' on flight to Tenerife

Article content

So much for a peaceful vacation to the Canary Islands.

A Ryanair passenger said she was forced to endure the “worst flight of my life” as two men and a woman terrorized the Edinburgh-to-Tenerife jaunt with a midair screaming match that included fighting, spitting and lashing out at other travellers, according to the Daily Mail.

Spanish police seemed to finally get the situation under control when the plane landed on the Atlantic island getaway off the coast of Morocco, but not before fellow travellers were subjected to about 30 minutes of “hell,” Nikki Swinton told the Mail.

“Had to endure the abuse from them for 2 1/2 hours before the crew had a word” said Swinton, who was seated behind some of the unruly travellers before being moved. “It was the worst flight of my life.

“They threatened to attack me when I got off the plane. The language and what they were talking about was disgusting.”

Video from the plane shows two men aggressively screaming at each other from their seats and in the aisle as a staff member pleads unsuccessfully over the intercom for them to stop. They also try to spit on, hit and headbutt each other at times before lashing out at other passengers who have the moxie to step in.

A woman seems to inflame the situation as well, egging on one of the men and screaming at other people on the plane.

Heather MacDonald, who posted about the incident on Facebook, told the Daily Mail that she believes the two men were brothers and the woman was the girlfriend of one of the goons.

“The blond bird screamed the whole flight and then her boyfriend and his brother all fell out and started fighting,” MacDonald said.

Ryanair officials told the Daily Mail that staff called ahead for police assistance after a “small number of passengers became disruptive onboard.

“The aircraft was met by local police upon arrival at Tenerife and these passengers were removed,” they said. “This is now a matter for local police.”
