A holidaymaker looking forward to a trip to Amsterdam boarded an easyJet flight but woke up in a Bristol police cell instead of the Netherlands. Stephen Bartle was so excited about the trip with pals he had far too much to drink, a court heard.
After boarding the flight from Bristol Airport he was too inebriated to operate his seat belt. When cabin crew intervened he was abusive to them - telling one to commit a sex act on him - and was ejected from the aircraft before it departed.
Bartle, 36, of Green Lane, Redruth, pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft in March. He also admitted a public order offence.
