Shocking in-flight act by Southwest flyer leaves seatmate stunned
He did what? Passengers on flights do bizarre things all the time — but this one has to be the wildest. Allegedly, a passenger flying a Southwest Airlines flight from Baltimore, Maryland, to Denver, Colorado, earlier this week witnessed a fellow flyer doing drugs, according to View From The Wing. Yes, you read that correctly. Reportedly, the drug-using traveler whipped out a 'steel box [with] lots of bottles inside.' It seemed innocent enough at first — that is, until the flyer 'proceed[ed] to use his Dunkin' Donuts loyalty card to start cutting up lines of cocaine.' The outlet said the flyer then rolled up a $5 bill to do the deed. It's unknown if the crew on the flight stepped in and said or did anything. /x/BoardingArea 'Picks it up and leans toward the window and starts doing blow. I couldn't believe it! Only picture I took, but you can tell what he's doing. Southwest is becoming the new Spirit!' a seatmate who witnessed this told View From The Wing. It's unknown whether this cocaine-using flyer faced any consequences or if the on-flight crew was made aware of this illegal act. By law, if a person is caught traveling in an airport with illegal drugs on them, they can potentially have charges pressed against them and be arrested — depending on the circumstances. The Post reached out to Southwest for comment. Sadly, this isn't the first time passengers tried to party a little too hard while onboard a flight. A group going to Ibiza wanted to start the partying early. daryakomarova – On an easyJet flight to Ibiza — the party capital of the world — a rowdy bunch of British passengers were accused of 'taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time' while waiting for the flight to take off. The group was supposedly shouting 'Come on Ibizia!' while engaging in unruly behavior. 'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other, and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job,' Ibiza resident and fellow passenger on the flight, Erika Barrachina, said. Barrachina was fearful of the inconsiderate group whom she called 'wild animals.' '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.' 'It was a really wild 2.5-hour flight,' she added. While easyJet might not have done much, supposedly, Delta took action on one of its recent flights when a flyer was told to spit out his tobacco-free nicotine Zyn pouch on a recent flight. 'Got told to spit my Zyn out on a flight. I really didn't know that was a thing?' the person wrote on the Reddit thread r/delta. 'Delta flight, first class (not that that matters). They brought a cup out and asked me to spit my Zyn out,' the flier said. 'They said it was because it was a tobacco product. I didn't put up a fight and complied right away.

I went to San Juan for the first time and was blown away by how much fun I had on a budget
Lounging on Condado Beach is a must. My sister and I stayed within walking distance of Condado Beach, so visiting was a daily activity on our itinerary. We enjoyed watching everyone swim, tan, and hang out in the sun. The beach is close to lots of shops and restaurants, which I liked stopping at during the day. I also highly recommend trying a treat from The Crazy Pineapple, a vendor on the beach. I paid $20 for an amazing mix of sorbet and rum inside a pineapple. We enjoyed walking the streets of Old San Juan. Old San Juan is a charming section of the city that dates back to the 16th century and is complete with cobblestone streets and plenty of colorful buildings. We loved looking at the architecture and stopping into different clothing, jewelry, and souvenir shops. During our visit, art vendors even lined Paseo de La Princesa, a picturesque promenade through the area. One of our favorite restaurants in Old San Juan was Barrachina, which claims to be the birthplace of the piña colada. We each paid about $12 for our drinks, which were delicious and creamy. I thought it tasted better than any other piña colada I've had. My sister and I had so much fun in Old San Juan that we came back multiple times throughout our trip. I recommend visiting the historic forts and the San Juan Gate. Old San Juan is also home to historic forts like Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo de San Cristóbal. For just $10, I got access to both sites, but due to time constraints, I only visited San Cristóbal. As someone who appreciates learning about history, I loved exploring the tunnels and looking at the weaponry, wall drawings, and barracks. I also recommend stopping by La Puerta de San Juan (the San Juan Gate), a bright red gate that used to be the entrance to Old San Juan. There's no entrance fee and it's located right by the water. It provided a glimpse into history — and was a good spot to take photos. Old San Juan is a great place for nightlife, too. Not only is Old San Juan an incredible place to sightsee during the day, but it's an amazing place for nightlife, too. My sister and I splurged and spent $60 each to participate in the Old San Juan Bar Crawl. Our group had about 30 people, and we were taken to a few different bars, each of which provided a welcome drink. We also got access to an open bar for around 45 minutes at one of the locations. Don't miss out on the fun in La Placita de Santurce either. La Placita de Santurce is a market square that transforms into a party when night falls. When we visited, music was blaring, the streets were full of people dancing, and there was a line to get in most of the bars, restaurants, and clubs. We enjoyed the music and the people at Aguardiente Bar and Tulum La Placita. When we visited, neither spot charged a cover fee, and each of our drinks cost about $15. We also had a great time at Jungle Bird, a cocktail bar that, in my opinion, had a quieter vibe than some of the other places we'd been to. Taking a day trip to Luquillo Beach was the perfect way to end our vacation. On our last full day of the trip, my sister and I decided to take an Uber to Luquillo Beach, which is about an hour away from San Juan. It cost about $71 to get there and back. At the beach, we enjoyed cooler water with fewer waves and the nearby Luquillo Kiosks, a street filled with food, drink, and souvenir stands. My sister and I tried tacos from one of the vendors and were impressed by the flavors. We noticed that beachgoers also had the option to sign up for activities like jet skiing or kayaking, but we opted to just set up a picnic on the beach. It was great soaking up the sunshine before heading home. Overall, my first trip to San Juan was a success. In my experience, San Juan provided the perfect mix of beaches, history, food, and nightlife without a giant price tag. I'm still dreaming about the waves at Condado Beach and sipping on piña coladas, and my sister and I are already talking about going back next year.

Rowdy ravers ‘taking pills and drinking' on airplane turn flight into nightmare: ‘Real hell'
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!' 3 EasyJet passengers were videoed yelling on a flight to Ibiza. TikTok/kiribarrachi 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.' 3 Passengers waved their arms and legs during their 2.5-hour flight. TikTok/kiribarrachi 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. 3 EasyJet confirmed that police were called to make sure the disorderly passengers exited the airport. Matteo Ceruti – 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.'

Passenger terrified as ‘drunk' rowdy flyers turn Ibiza plane into ‘mid-air nightclub'
An easyJet passenger was left petrified after a group of rowdy 'drunk' British flyers turned her Ibiza flight into a 'nightclub'. Furious Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a 'panic attack' after having to cope with 'scum' passengers. The Ibiza resident blasted that these type of tourists should never have been allowed to board the plane in the first place. Shocking footage showed a packed plane with passengers appearing to bang on luggage compartments and yell: 'Come on Ibiza!' Multiple travellers appeared to be waving their arms and legs around while sat during the loud journey. And some who seemingly found the whole situation hilarious decided to record the noisy chanting. The Spanish local said that her 'flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible'. The passenger said she was 'scared' while travelling on the jet 'full of real English animals'. '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 added. The appalled passenger called her experience: 'Real hell.' She said of the footage which she managed to record: 'This video is the just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey.' Barrachina also claimed that Brit passengers were drunk and high before boarding. She continued: 'Taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time, which I saw with my own eyes. 'It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight.' The Spanish passenger raged: 'This shouldn't be allowed. They shouldn't let scum like this get on a plane or sell alcohol on board. 'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home.' She branded the uncontrollable Brits 'wild animals'. The Ibiza resident also told a local Ibizan newspaper: '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.'
