Many of us, in order to relax a bit before flight, like to have a sip or two of our favourite
spirit.
But before we decide to drink alcohol during our journey, it is good to know some facts
about availability and consumption of alcoholic beverages on board of aeroplanes.
That will be the topic of today's episode.
Enjoy :)
Majority of airlines do permit to bring own alcohol on board and consume it.
However, sometimes, some restrictions apply.
For instance, companies like Air New Zealand or Lufthansa do not allow their passengers
to take more than 5 litres of alcohol per person and it can never be more than 70% volume.
So pure spirit will always be rejected.
Also, there exist some carriers that do allow to drink alcohol during the flight, but under
the condition that it was bought via on-board sale.
Here a good examples are well-known European low-cost airlines like Ryanair or Wizz Air.
Good news is that still multiple airlines offer alcohol free of charge to its passengers
on all flights.
For instance, if we travel with Air France, even on shorter routes, then we can enjoy
free bottle of true French wine, or maybe more if we wink a bit to stewardesses.
And when we are on board Ethiopian Airlines' plane,
then we can choose from wide selection of local beers.
And if it comes to Emirates or Etihad Airways, passengers can enjoy free whisky, wines or
even cognacs from on-board menu.
Unfortunately, we need to be prepared also that some airlines do not allow
to drink even a single drop of alcohol.
Officially, the national carrier of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iran Air prohibits both
consumption and sale of alcohol on board its planes.
It is similar with some Aeroflot flights.
Wait, it's Russia...
but including those from Moscow to Havana, Bangkok
or Shanghai.
Russian Airlines introduced a ban on drinking due to some acts of violence that were occurring
on mentioned flights and were provoked by passengers that were intoxicated with alcohol.
Finally, some air carriers permit to drink spirits, but just in specific time.
For example, when we are flying on Aeromexico, we would legally drink after 11 am.
Of course all questions concerning sale, consumption or even carriage of alcohol are regulated
by airlines themselves.
If then we are not sure how much we can drink, simply visit airlines' website and consult
conditions of carriage or our tariff rules.
Because why resign from a small dose of pleasure that is our favourite beverage?
Cheers :)
