A fuming flyer has told how his flight on holiday turned into a nightmare as a rowdy couple forced it to be diverted. Hans Mahrla had been looking forward to his first trip abroad for two years since the start of the pandemic.
But after boarding the Liverpool John Lennon Airport plane to Tenerife, Hans and his fellow passengers watched on in horror as the boozed up pair turned it into the "flight from hell". After being abused by the couple, the crew had no choice but to reroute the plane to Lisbon, Portugal.
Branding the two passengers' behaviour as "shameful", Hans, 49, told the Liverpool Echo there was no warning of what was to come when they first boarded. He said the flight seemed to be going fine and the pilot even announced they were ahead of schedule.
