Even if you're not drinking yourself, if you are going on a business flight, like it's nice to walk by and see, you know, whether it's gangs of girls or guys going off at a hen party or like a birthday weekend, just having a bit of crack.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Like, don't think there's people going there three or four hours before to drink in the airport.

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

Remember when he said he was going to charge people for going to the toilet?

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

Every few months, he comes up with something and we're all talking about it.

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

We're not talking about the flights that might be cancelled or the other things that are happening.

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

you know everyone's talking about that and the thing about it is he says these things and yeah he could say he's going to charge for the toilet or he's going to stop drinking on the flight but he has no control over the airports and the airports are not going to stop selling drink they're making money the same way he's making money and you know we got to spend it on the food and drink when we're in the airport it's business
