A ‘feral’ Brit has been captured attempting to provoke another passenger on a chaotic ‘flight from hell’ to Ibiza.
The altercation reportedly occurred on Jet2 flight LS1181 from Birmingham on Friday after the pilot delayed takeoff by around two-and-a-half hours.
Originally scheduled to depart at 6.15pm, holidaymakers were not allowed on board until around 7pm only to be told that there would be further delays.
One passenger who witnessed the incident unfold says it was at this point that the flight began to go ‘feral’.
CJ Edwards posted on TikTok to explain that the passenger, who can be seen in footage wearing a green outfit, decided to drink a bottle of vodka in ’10 seconds’, resulting in him later screaming in the faces of flight attendants.
He was also seen throwing items of clothing at another passenger in the video, which raised tensions before others on board stepped in.
Mr Edwards said: ‘People were drinking and doing all sorts, and what I want to say is that it wasn’t just him.
‘There were a lot of things going on. There was a fight on the plane, someone got slapped, someone was sick in the aisles. My friend had sick on his shoe. People were passing drinks over each other.

‘There was a lot going on. So when we got on the flight and told we can’t move, the guy took his bottle of Ciroc out that he’d got from duty free and, I’m not lying, he’s guzzled it down in about 10 seconds.’
Mr Edwards said it was at that point he knew he didn’t want to be ‘anywhere near’ the man and moved to the back of the plane to sit with a friend.
Despite the pre-flight chaos, Mr Edwards said the plane eventually took off – which flight records say was at 8.44pm – but that that there was a strong amount of turbulence.
‘And when it’s doing all of this in the air the man is standing up,’ he continued.
‘He’s doing the most. He was coming to the back of the plane where I was, trying to get some drink off people and talk to some guys.
‘When the air hostess told him to sit down he’s looked in her face and said “But who are you? Who are you to tell me to sit down?”.

‘After all that when we’re trying to land he’s standing up again. He’s in the aisles, moving through. People are trying to get him to sit down and he’s not doing it.
‘The pilot is on the microphone saying “to the guy standing up, please sit down”.
‘I think the person he was with as well that he ended up slapping them but I’m not too sure. It was the flight from hell.’
When returning home after spending 24 hours in Ibiza, Mr Edwards said he saw the man who apologised and blamed his behaviour on frustration at the flight being delayed.
He added: ‘When I was getting my flight back today I saw him and he was like “bro I’m so sorry, I was frustrated because I was trying to do 24 hours and my time was delayed”.
‘I was just thinking “your time was delayed like everyone else’s, big man”.’
A spokesperson for Jet2 said: ‘The customer has been banned for life. As a family friendly airline we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour.’
