Manchester Airport has reissued a warning to all travellers as certain actions could see "holidays ruined".
While many people like to start their holidays early and enjoy an alcoholic beverage at the airport, a tweet from the airport's official account on Friday is urging travellers not to drink too much at the airport, or on board their flights.
The tweet said: "Did you know that if you are deemed unfit to fly, you may be denied boarding and you could face up to two years in jail for disrupting a flight?"

An image accompanying the tweet adds: "One too many is all it takes to... ruin a holiday, cause a delay, land YOU in jail, cancel a flight, or divert a plane".
Holidaymakers could face a £5,000 fine if their disruptive behaviour results in a flight being delayed. The fine could be as high as £80,000 if the disruptive behaviour happened mid air and forces the plane to divert. If you cause a flight to be cancelled then you may be hit with an airline ban.
The UK aviation industry said it is "committed to tackling disruptive behaviour through a voluntary Code of Practice". The practice promotes:
- A zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour
- The identification, pre-emption, management and reporting of disruptive incidents
- The responsible sale and consumption of alcohol; and
- Education and communication with passengers
