EasyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair ‘celebration airplane’ hell as crew share most dreaded location

Imagine settling down in your plane seat ready to jet off for some sun before finding yourself in the middle of a mid-air rave whether you like it or not.

Boozed up passengers blasting party tunes while singing and dancing in the aisles seems to have become the norm on low budget flights to Ibiza. It’s become so much of a headache that some cabin crew have admitted they dread tending to the flights.

Families caught up in the chaos have also complained they have feared for their lives as revellers ignore seatbelt warnings and jump up and down during their own not-so private parties.

Many a video has even been shared on TikTok in recent weeks including one captioned: “Ibiza flights can’t be done any other way,” and followed by a dancing emoji. The caption below the video reads: “Safe to say cabin crew was not happy with us #ryanair #ibiza.”

It shows easyJet passengers singing and dancing along to Siedah Garrett’s song, Do You Want It Right Now, which is being blasted out of a speaker.

The video attracted 156k likes and thousands of shares and comments.

One wrote: “I work for easyJet as a cabin member and honestly, my heart drops when I see Ibiza on my flight list.”

Another added: “Ohh I would cry!! I think this is so inconsiderate to others on the flight. Why do cabin crew allow this?”

But one wrote: “Why’s everyone hating? It looks so much fun.”

Another video, liked 216k times was captioned: “15 DJ’s & 1 saxophonist on a flight to Ibiza. What could go wrong?” The informaiton below the clip read: “@Ryanair did we pass the vibe check?”

It showed a saxophonist blasting out a party tune as crowds of passengers sang along. The owner of the clip, which showed a cabin crew member surrounded by revellers admitted “she wasn’t happy.”

One viewer commented: “The flight to Ibiza is always nothing but noise.”

But many appreciated the musical interlude with one viewer commenting: “This is amazing.” Another added: “Jet2 need to ditch the Jess Glynne (song) and give us this instead.”

One said: “And still, the crew will be trying to flog a scratch card through that.”

One video captioned: “POV: you’re on the party flight to Ibiza” showed a passenger’s drop down tray loaded with booze including two mini bottles of prosecco, two shots of vodka and an Aperol Spritz.

A short while later, a flight attendant can be seen trying to manoeuvre down the aisle dodging dancing travellers.

“Let’s be fair, if you’re travelling to Ibiza, you’re not a businessman or lady, you’re there to get smashed,” one commented.

Earlier this year, the Daily Star reported how a family was left “traumatised” after a gang of rowdy passengers turned a Jet2 flight into a “boozy party.”

John Williams, 50, was travelling with his son, daughter and wife to celebrate a family birthday. But he said the trip was soured by the “shouting, swearing and drinking” crowds on a flight from Birmingham Airport to Ibiza.

He claimed that after they had been airborne for 25 minutes, approximately 40 people, divided into two groups, got up from their seats and started causing chaos in the aisle.

He said: “Unfortunately the flight out was the worst flight I have experienced in over 40 years of flying. My little girl was left traumatised. A flight attendant working called it a fun bus,” he claimed.

“Basically the flight attendants did nothing to stop the disruptive dangerous behaviour… even to the point where the seat belt lights were on and still they partied, and still the staff did nothing the stop the behaviour,”

Last year, the Daily Star reported how lairy holidaymakers held a mini rave with disco lights onboard a Ryanair flight to Spain’s party capital.

The viral video, which was shared on social media by Shenanigans Ibiza, showed a group of young people crowding the aisle between the seats with drinks in their hands as they bounced around with their hands in the air.

Disco lights, of various colours, covered the inside of the cabin as they chanted the tune of This Girl by Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners.

In the caption, the bar staff wrote: “You can tell when the Ibiza flight’s full of Shenanigans staff alright.”

The Daily Star approached EasyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair to ask what, if any, policies are in place in such situations and whether rowdy culprits face any kind of punishment.

Only easyJet responded saying: “The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority and we do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard.

“Our cabin crew are trained to assess all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.”
