I’ve been a flight attendant for six years – the 2 reasons why Brits really are the worst passengers
A FLIGHT attendant has revealed why Brits really are the worst passengers to have onboard a flight.
Kristina Galvydyte, who is a flight attendant for a leading UK airline, shared her views on British passengers.
The cabin crew member confirmed the very simple reason British passengers are her least favourite to welcome onboard.
She : "Brits tend to start drinking, or even downing drinks, at the airport, no matter the hour of the day, so a lot already board the plane drunk or at least tipsy – and then carry on.
"As someone from Eastern Europe, I have never seen this kind of culture anywhere else."
While there are strict alcohol rules on how much airlines can serve to each passenger, many passengers have found other ways to consume alcohol onboard an aircraft.
