SunExpress’s German-American boss Max Kownatzki told trade publication TTG that one special flight operated by the Turkish airline for a group of Brits on a golfing break was drunk dry in the space of 25-minutes.

He said Brit travellers are “more high-spend, more hedonistic.”

I don't think they're drinking because they're afraid of flying 😂.

They're drinking because they're alcoholics or to pass the time: the flight probably doesn't seem to take as long if you're black out drunk. Also booze is usually cheaper on flights than at bars.

Dunno what kind of bars and flights you're taking
