Hen party friends who caused havoc on their flight
POSING unsteadily at a bar at Liverpool Airport ahead of a Spanish hen party, Emma Yates and her excited friends shared this photograph with the words: ‘Benidorm are u ready for us crazy girls?’
By the time their Ryanair flight had touched down at Alicante several hours – and drinks – later, fellow passengers and the crew had enough of their antics. To boos and applause from fed-up holidaymakers, the group were escorted off the jet by police after allegedly spending the evening flight screaming, swearing and downing more booze.
In response to criticism of their behaviour, Miss Yates wrote on Facebook: ‘Yes we was drunk... yes we was embarrassed but eh a group of girls on holiday having fun...’
At the time of the incident in July 2017, Ryanair said it had passed the matter on to the Spanish authorities, but Miss Yates was soon uploading selfies while sunning herself by the pool in Benidorm.
