Rowdy ravers ‘taking pills and drinking' on airplane turn flight into nightmare: ‘Real hell'

Rowdy ravers ‘taking pills and drinking' on airplane turn flight into nightmare: ‘Real hell'

New York Post20-05-2025
Ibiza may be the party capital of the world, but one plane passenger was furious when a bunch of rowdy revelers got their festivities started early.
Ibiza resident Erika Barrachina accused the 'drunk' British easyJet passengers of turning the 2.5-hour flight into a 'nightclub.'
Barrachina claimed that the raucous British 'scum' slammed on the luggage compartments and waved their arms and legs during the trip. She said the 'absolutely horrible' flight caused her to suffer a 'panic attack' as they shouted, 'Come on Ibiza!'

The Spaniard blasted easyJet for allowing the party tourists to board the plane, accusing them of 'taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time' during boarding.
'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other, and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job,' she continued.
Barrachina said the jet 'full of real English animals' got hostile with the flight attendants. When they were asked to show their IDs, Barrachina claimed that some refused and responded with 'F–k off.'
Labeling the rowdy Brits as 'wild animals,' Barrachina said that their behavior made her 'scared' to be on the flight: 'I'm not afraid of flying because I've flown around the world but I had a panic attack because it was like being in a pub, in a nightclub, but in the air.'

When asked to describe her experience, Barrachina bluntly said, 'real hell.'
'It was a really wild 2.5-hour flight,' she added.
Residents of Ibiza, which is known for its party culture and drug-filled raves, have pushed back against the uncontrollable tourists. Other party capitals like Bali and South Florida have cracked down on the revelry in recent years with stricter policing and curfews. Locals in Spain's Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, will protest on June 15 against mass tourism, which they claim is ruining their quality of life.

Barrachina accused the airlines of allowing party tourists to get too drunk and disturb other passengers with their antics.
This shouldn't be allowed. They shouldn't let scum like this get on a plane or sell alcohol on board,' she said. 'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home.'
EasyJet confirmed that police were called to make sure the disorderly passengers exited the airport.
'We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on May 16 was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner,' easyJet said in a statement. 'The safety and well-being of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority.
'Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behavior onboard.'

Go behind the scenes with the ‘Alien: Earth' cast at Comic-Con 2025

SAN DIEGO — Sydney Chandler has wanted to attend San Diego Comic-Con as a fan for years. So it's 'surreal' that the actor's first experience with the annual pop culture expo is to promote her upcoming FX series 'Alien: Earth.' Chandler stars in the 'Alien' prequel as Wendy, a young girl whose consciousness has been transferred to an android. 'To be able to do it in this capacity is just mind-blowing,' she tells The Times in advance of the show's Hall H premiere on Friday. 'It's emotional because we worked on this for so long and I learned so much. … I'm kind of at a loss of words.' She does have words of appreciation, though, including for what she's learned from her character. 'Her journey of finding out how to hold her own and stand on her own two feet taught me so much,' says Chandler. 'I'm an overthinker. I'm an anxious person. I would have run so fast. I would not be as brave as her, but she taught me … that it's OK to just stand on your own two feet, and that's enough. That's powerful.' Even before the show's Hall H panel, fans have gathered on the sidewalk outside of the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego to catch a glimpse of Chandler and her 'Alien: Earth' cast mates Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin and Babou Ceesay, along with creator Noah Hawley and executive producer David Zucker, on their short trek to the bus that would transport them to the convention center for the show's world premiere. On the ride over, Hawley betrays no nerves about people seeing the first episode. 'I really think, in a strange way, it plays for all ages because it is about growing up on some level,' says the showrunner. 'But it's also 'Alien,' and it is a meditation on power and corporate power. ' Huddled together on the bus with Lawther and Blenkin, Ceesay is surprised to learn that this is the first time attending San Diego Comic-Con for all three. There's plenty of good-natured ribbing as they talk about the early interviews they've completed at the event. 'I just sort of want to make jokes with you all the time,' says Lawther as he looks towards his cast mates. 'I find it quite giddy in the experience, and I had to remind myself that I'm a professional.' 'Sometimes the British sarcasm instinct just kicks in,' Blenkin adds. Their playful dynamic continues as they joke about crashing Ceesay's other panel, and also backstage at Hall H as they try to sneak up on each other in the dark. After the panel, the cast is whisked away for video interviews and signing posters at a fan meet-and-greet at a booth on the exhibit floor. ('Timothy, you're the man!' shouts a fan passing by.) Later, Hawley, Chandler and Ceesay will hit the immersive 'Alien: Earth' activation where they will explore the wreckage of a crashed ship. 'It's such a safe space for people who just enjoy cinema and enjoy film,' Chandler says of Comic-Con. 'And that's me. I'm a complete nerd for all this stuff, so just to be around that group — it reminds me of why I love film so much in the first place.'

Ichiro hilariously called out writer who didn't vote for him in Hall of Fame speech

Ichiro Suzuki was officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on Sunday after a legendary career that spanned 28 years in both Japan and MLB. By all accounts, he was one of the most obvious first-ballot Hall of Famers we've seen. Yet, one writer left Ichiro off the Hall of Fame ballot, leaving the Mariners legend a vote shy of unanimous selection. Well, Ichiro made sure to mention that snub in his Hall of Fame speech. Speaking to the crowd, Ichiro listed a few of historic achievements to set up the joke about the lone writer's snub. After the vote, Ichiro had offered to host the writer at his home for dinner, but on Sunday, he jokingly made a point to rescind that offer. Hey, if anyone deserves to be a little petty in a Hall of Fame speech, it's Ichiro. The numbers speak for itself. The speech overall was a great mix of humility, humor and wisdom — and he did so in English. Ichiro also had jokes for his time with the Miami Marlins. Well played, Ichiro. Well played.
