Ibiza may be the party capital of the world, but one plane passenger was furious when a bunch of rowdy revelers got their festivities started early.
Ibiza resident Erika Barrachina accused the 'drunk' British easyJet passengers of turning the 2.5-hour flight into a 'nightclub.'
Barrachina claimed that the raucous British 'scum' slammed on the luggage compartments and waved their arms and legs during the trip. She said the 'absolutely horrible' flight caused her to suffer a 'panic attack' as they shouted, 'Come on Ibiza!'

The Spaniard blasted easyJet for allowing the party tourists to board the plane, accusing them of 'taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time' during boarding.
'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other, and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job,' she continued.
Barrachina said the jet 'full of real English animals' got hostile with the flight attendants. When they were asked to show their IDs, Barrachina claimed that some refused and responded with 'F–k off.'
Labeling the rowdy Brits as 'wild animals,' Barrachina said that their behavior made her 'scared' to be on the flight: 'I'm not afraid of flying because I've flown around the world but I had a panic attack because it was like being in a pub, in a nightclub, but in the air.'

When asked to describe her experience, Barrachina bluntly said, 'real hell.'
'It was a really wild 2.5-hour flight,' she added.
Residents of Ibiza, which is known for its party culture and drug-filled raves, have pushed back against the uncontrollable tourists. Other party capitals like Bali and South Florida have cracked down on the revelry in recent years with stricter policing and curfews. Locals in Spain's Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, will protest on June 15 against mass tourism, which they claim is ruining their quality of life.

Barrachina accused the airlines of allowing party tourists to get too drunk and disturb other passengers with their antics.
This shouldn't be allowed. They shouldn't let scum like this get on a plane or sell alcohol on board,' she said. 'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home.'
EasyJet confirmed that police were called to make sure the disorderly passengers exited the airport.
'We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on May 16 was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner,' easyJet said in a statement. 'The safety and well-being of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority.
'Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behavior onboard.'
