A holidaymaker has told how his plane was diverted due to a 'drunk' couple smoking in the toilet during a 'flight from hell'. Hans Mahrla was onboard an easyjet flight from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Tenerife for his first holiday away since the beginning of the pandemic, when it was diverted to Lisbon in Portugal after a couple got drunk, smoked and abused fellow passengers and members of staff.
Mr Mahrla, from Ormskirk, told the Liverpool Echo described the couple's behaviour as 'shameful'. The 49-year-old said everything on the flight seemed to be going fine and the pilot announced they were ahead of schedule.
