I didn't seek to make a sweeping generalization equating LCC and Y with yobs. But I would observe that in all my time in EDI, LHR, BHD and other airports, I haven't seen such a collection of young, obnoxious drunks as I saw at LTN and KTW. Not everyone there was like this - there were plenty who weren't. But they, and we, were badly intimidated by those who were. By the same token, I've never felt the urge myself to go on holiday with friends wearing a silly uniform - whether printed t-shirts, deely boppers or silly hats. I have never seen drunks denied boarding on any regular airline - on Wizz Air, two drunks were initially denied boarding (one for being abusive to staff and one because he was unable to stand) but were allowed on after an interview with the captain. These were part of a group of men who were very loud, very aggressive, very racist at Katowice airport - but they were not the only group of uniformed drunks on the flight.

The EZ flight from LTN-EDI, apart from the unnecessary inconveniences to which the pax were subjected, seemed to be populated by normal, reasonable people.
