Ah it wasn’t that disgusting. More a good clean jab of a post.

Because our free travel area with the UK there was no need for passports and photo ID was unknown, so I’m guessing you could just book a flight with a travel agent and away you went. I can just about remember the old ticket booklet before deregulation.

I’ll need older lads like @Boxtyeater and @Fagan_ODowd to back me up here.

I understand it’s hard for ye young lads to understand how things worked pre-internet.

Come on lads, ye must remember these?

Nasty, but you love to see it. @mikehunt is windmilling all round him.

I do indeed. And a little folder to put them into with the name of the travel agent on it.

And when final boarding called you’d order just a quick last one.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a drink at the airport

[EstebanSexface]

bar going away on a stag I’d be the same, they’re stressful enough places without putting alcohol down you as well and you’d nearly always have a drive at the other side

Yes or in my case a cycle from the airport.

[Spidey]

I always get dehydrated on the plane after drinking

[Julio_Geordio]

I’d always be bursting for a piss

How is o Leary keeping the flights so cheap given the cost of fuel ?

[TheUlteriorMotive]

They’d have hedged cost of fuel to end of year maybe. You’d be expect costs to increase soon enough or else they are banking on other airlines breaking first and going under

Yea, sorry, that article is geared towards the UK. It’s also on the RTE website but the RTE website doesn’t link well here.

Big Mick needs to sort that shit pretty lively

[mikehunt]

We must be paying Ryanair to pollute the skies if they can charge so little.
