Just got back from Tenerife at 3am this morning, Jet2 flight delayed 2.5hrs

Reason..As briefed to us by our pilot explaining delay:

Outbound from UK, 1 hr into flight, soon after seatbelt signs turned off, someone stood up to get stuff out of overhead bins...

"2 bottles" fell out and hit a lady on the head in the below aisle seat....serious enough head injury to cause a turn around and ambulance off to hospital. Nasty B) n(

frighteningly hope these Pilots get enough rest... as we taxied out on to the runway for take off... the 2 "dings" and announced " Cabin Crew seats for landing" :0

luckily flight uneventful, if not a god unearthly hour to be returning.

NH

Love it,but all the flying these pilots do does make you wonder if they know what country there in

Try convincing one of our American cousins NOT to transport their entire ******* house as "cabin baggage" and watch their reaction....!

Very true! What I've seen an American take on as "acceptable" hand luggage would clothe an entire African nation ):

'Bout the same chance of convincing them as you have of convincing a holidaying brit to not fill the overhead bins with bottles of booze that don't, unlike carry-ons, stay in place and might actually injure someone

I was more concerned if he knew if he was on the ground or not ?|

Going back to the first post, taking bootle to to Tenerife, a bit like coals to Newcastle.
