Today with David McCullagh
Food While You Travel

It's just a subject that if you watch the show, the food is such a huge part of it.

Today with David McCullagh
Food While You Travel

So it should be fun.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Well, I think fair play to him because he's got us all talking about Ryanair again.

But I think he's gone after something now that a lot of people hold very dear to their hearts, including me.

I'm a big fan of the airport pint.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Michael O’Leary Urges Ban On Early Morning Airport Drinking As Bad Behaviour Rises

When I first wrote my book, A Compendium of Pints, it was one of the first chapters I wrote.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

It was the first thing that sort of came to mind when

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Michael O’Leary Urges Ban On Early Morning Airport Drinking As Bad Behaviour Rises

I was thinking, what are like the quintessential pint occasions that we really hold dear to us?

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

And I think for a lot of people, that's the pint in the airport.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Michael O’Leary Urges Ban On Early Morning Airport Drinking As Bad Behaviour Rises

Well, I mean, most of the time you're hopefully going on your holiday, so you don't really care if you're going to be dehydrated.

I mean, obviously, the people that are flying in and out for business or other things are not necessarily going to the bar.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

But most people, it's maybe once or twice a year that you're doing it and the rulebook is gone.

You want to kind of mark that you're

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

this is your holiday time, this is different, if I want to have a pint at 5am or 7am or whatever, you can do that.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

It's just like a marker to say, out of office, here we go.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Michael O’Leary Urges Ban On Early Morning Airport Drinking As Bad Behaviour Rises

Well, I personally have never seen that happen.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

And I fly a lot.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

I would say most of the kind of disruption I see, particularly at Ryanair Gates, is people getting into fights over the bags and whether they are getting charged or not.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Michael O’Leary Urges Ban On Early Morning Airport Drinking As Bad Behaviour Rises

Like, I know it does happen.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

And of course, O'Leary is not going to say that unless he has the statistics to back it up.
