EasyJet passenger slams boozy lads who turned flight into 'hell' with antics
The Ibiza resident posted a video of unruly passengers aboard an easyJet flight from Luton to the Spanish island which ended with police meeting the plane on the runway
Loud English tourists branded 'animals' on Ibiza easyJet flight
A woman has laid into English tourists after she was stuck on a flight to Ibiza with unruly passengers.
Posting online, the Ibiza resident shared footage of the boisterous Brits online, insisting that they shouldn't have been allowed on the easyJet plane in the first place.
In a no-holds-barred message alongside a video of the packed plane where passengers could be seen banging on luggage compartments above them and yelling 'Come on Ibiza', the Spanish speaker said: 'My flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible. I was scared."
She added that people were "standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job. Real hell. This video is just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey.
"It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight. This shouldn't be allowed." Erika said that those who had drunk too much alcohol should not be allowed on flights.
'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home. I had a very bad time and the flight attendants unable to do anything," she added.
The woman added in comments to a local Ibizan newspaper that she had complained to the flight attendants: '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," she continued.
She claimed the two male air stewards and an air stewardess on board had asked some passengers for their documentation, but were met with shouts of 'f** off.'
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on 16 May was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority. Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard."
The footage was posted on Saturday, a day before thousands of people marched in the Canary Islands' cities as part of a new anti-mass tourism protest. Locals in the Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, are due to stage their protest on June 15.
Over the weekend, fed-up locals made their frustrations clear in the Canary Islands as peak tourism season nears, with an estimated 7,000 people marching through the streets and promenades in Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, alone. The massive protests have been echoed on each of the territory's six other islands, including Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, with organisers saying the sun-kissed Spanish islands, which are extremely popular, especially with British tourists, "have a limit".
There have been long-running tensions in holiday destinations across Spain due to the pressure large numbers of tourists put on local resources and property prices.

Huge holiday hotspot sees big drop in UK tourists after locals 'demonise' them
Benidorm is one of the biggest winners in Spain of the drop in British holidaymakers choosing Magaluf following the party resort "clean-up", local bar and nightclub chiefs say A Spanish holiday resort once beloved by Brits is seeing its popularity falter amid efforts to tidy up its image. According to Miguel Perez-Marsa, head of the ABONE nightclub association on Majorca, young Brits are shunning Magaluf. The area used to be overrun by UK tourists during the summer but now attracts a more diverse European crowd. Miguel argued that Brits feel "demonized." French and Italian visitors, who tend to drink less and spend less on nights out, are filling the void left by British revellers. At the same time, British youths, once the mainstay of Magaluf's raucous Punta Ballena strip, have been "steam-rollered" and are now heading to Benidorm and other "more-welcoming" resorts, Miguel said. While more British families are visiting Magaluf, they're choosing all-inclusive deals, which means they're spending less money outside their hotels, Miguel told Diario de Mallorca. The reputation of Magaluf took a hit following the release of a scandalous sex video in June 2014, involving a British tourist in a bar, which resulted in a year-long closure of the establishment and a concerted effort by local authorities to clean up the resort's image. Magaluf's infamous party strip has been under the spotlight since Majorca's leading politician at the time, Jose Ramon Bauza, slammed Punta Ballena as "500 metres of shame". This came after an 18-year-old girl was tricked into performing sex acts for a supposed free holiday, only to receive a cocktail named 'Holiday'. Fines reaching up to £50,000 were introduced for tourists caught balcony jumping, and alcohol service with meals at all-inclusive hotels in areas like Magaluf was restricted under a regional government decree targeting 'drunken tourism', introduced five years ago. Last year saw even stricter measures, including £1,300 penalties for street drinking and mandatory night-time shutdowns of alcohol-selling shops in parts of Magaluf. In May 2024 the Mirror's Hollie Bone visited Magaluf and was shocked by the levels of debauchery on display, despite these efforts. "In just one night our reporter was offered cocaine five times and witnessed a stag party buying a huge can of nitrous oxide, known as hippy crack, before using it openly in a bar. And previous visitors have urged those going this year to be careful as thuggish bouncers, incidents of spiking and theft still plague the party town," she wrote. "During our week in Magaluf we witnessed several blatant breaches of the new laws. We saw members of the stag party buy two one litre bottles of vodka and gin after making an after-hours deal with a takeaway owner at 3am. The same group also bought the nitrous oxide and inhaled balloons of the gas in front of nonchalant bar workers. "Revellers are still enticed into bars by the offers of a free shot with their first drink. For some young Britons a summer season here is still as attractive and exciting as it was eight years ago. One barman from Tottenham, North London, told us he came here in 2016 and has never looked back." During a visit in May last year, Britain's then-Ambassador to Spain, Hugh Elliott, called on visitors in the Majorcan hotspot to "show responsibility" and remember they are "guests" in Spain. British holidaymakers form the majority of Benidorm's international visitors. Recent statistics revealed that over two-thirds of the Costa Blanca resort's tourists in May were from overseas, with an encouraging average hotel occupancy rate of 84.7% for the month. This Sunday an anti-mass tourism demonstrators are gearing up for another rally in the Majorcan capital, Palma. The event is orchestrated by activist group Menys Turisme, Mes Vida, with a coalition of 60 organisations confirming their participation. Activists from other cities such as Barcelona and San Sebastian are set to join in a series of synchronised protests. A spokesperson for Menys Turisme, Mes Vida declared last week: "We will demonstrate for the right to a decent life and to demand the brakes are put on the touristification of this island."

Holidaymakers must check number on passport or risk being turned away
Brits need to check a detail in their passports at least two weeks before travelling Travellers planning a foreign getaway are being advised to verify a particular detail on their passport or risk being denied boarding at the airport. Overlooking this vital step could potentially derail your travel plans. There's a multitude of things to remember when preparing for a journey. From packing clothes and toiletries to arranging travel insurance and visas, it can seem like an overwhelming list of tasks to complete. This is due to the fact that different nations have distinct rules regarding passport validity. The Post Office advises on its website: "Some countries might ask that your passport's valid for your whole time away and even a bit longer, sometimes up to six months. "If you don't check these rules, you could run into problems, like not being able to board your flight or being denied entry when you land." To err on the side of caution, ensure your passport has at least an additional six months remaining from the date of your holiday - as many destinations demand at least half a year's buffer. To locate your passport expiry date, you'll need to refer to the document's data page, which also includes your photograph, date of birth, and passport number. Passport validity rules Before embarking on your journey, verify the requirements for the destination you're visiting. Here are some examples of the rules in different countries: For those planning to travel to the United States, it's crucial that your passport remains valid for the entire duration of your stay, although having an extra six months' validity is advised to avoid potential complications If you're bound for Australia, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date you enter the country For travel to New Zealand, passports must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date Europe In most European countries, the requirement is for three months of passport validity. However, additional regulations apply to British citizens visiting EU and Schengen countries, which specify that your passport cannot be older than 10 years. The Post Office explains: "Passports issued after 2018 are valid for exactly 10 years. But if your passport was issued before September 2018, it might be valid for up to 10 years and nine months. "This is because, before 2018, the passport office would add up to nine extra months from your old passport to your new one. This means some people have passports that haven't officially expired and are still valid for travel worldwide. "The exception is travel in Europe, where passports must be less than 10 years old." To travel to Europe and Schengen countries, your passport must meet the following conditions: Issued less than 10 years before your departure date Valid for at least three months after your planned return date All the relevant information for travel to the EU and Schengen countries can be found on the website. If your passport is approaching its expiry date You should apply for a new passport at if your passport has expired or is not valid for the amount of time you need. It costs £94.50 to renew or replace your passport if you apply online or £107 if you fill in a paper form. It typically takes two weeks for a new passport to arrive, although there are express options available at a higher cost. If your passport is considered damaged it will also need replacing. HM Passport Office will consider your passport damaged if:
