Fair. My usage of the term 'posh' is largely tongue in cheek as the proposed ban is not targetting the flyertalk demograph, more the loco / charter stag do / weekend away travellers which has been a large driver of the growth in air travel in the last couple of decades. I was probably responding to the snobbery i've seen with regards to this article elsewhere (not on this thread I should say!) but can't support a ban on alcohol for those not travelling in business - should go hand in hand with an airport wide ban, or, more sensibly just be policed better!
It's like banning babies in business classes. You can't have dual standards!
