I thought this may have been possible on a flight to Benidorm but Barbados??

Wasn't Rooney rumoured to have flown there recently?

One word - pathetic...

I'd have thrown them off the plane, and offered to let them have parashutes if they could find them:D

Never mind a passport - there should be some kind of IQ test for people wanting to fly.

If football hooligans can have their passports removed - so can these jokers.

More evidence to support my anti-Gatwick prejudice...

Wow I expected them to be younger!! I hope they are charged and banned from VS flights!

I honestly hope no children saw what happened!

I'm waiting for it to appear on Youtube. With at least 100 witnesses, someone will have whipped out their camera phone.

I'd hazard a guess that those involved are socially inept and probably also known to the police here already.

And I thought Barbados was a place where nice people went - although I read recently that it had gotten more down market.

Now I know :( .

Maybe they were just annoyed as they didn't get Vport?

VS has banned them.

Sounds nasty: one report says they were throwing hot coffee at others.
Another passenger thought they were witnessing an act of terrorism.

They are from a small town in Lincolnshire so as well as a fine, the VS ban, there's the embarrassment factor (if incident was fuelled by booze then they probably wont live it down).

In certain quarters of the population they will be seen as heroes in the same way that ASBOs are seen as a badge of honour. xx(
