Thread: Chinese Passenger Drinks Whole Bottle Of Cognac In Airport Row

A Chinese plane passenger who was told she could not carry a $190 (£120) bottle of cognac on board downed it all rather than let it go to waste - and was then deemed unfit to fly.

The woman had bought the Remy Martin XO Excellence in the US and then tried to take it on board an internal flight from Beijing to Wenzhou. But the 700ml bottle was far above the 100ml that security laws allow.

She became hugely drunk and was forced to sleep it off at Beijing airport. The incident occurred at Beijing Capital International Airport last Friday.

The passenger, identified only by her surname Zhou, downed the bottle at about midday after being informed she could not take it on board. She began to shout incoherently, then fell over and started rolling around the floor. Security intervened.

One airport officer told the South China Morning Post: "She was so drunk… she couldn't even stand up. We took her to a room in a wheelchair so she could rest."

She was denied entry on to the plane and was given medical care. The woman then slept and reportedly did not sober up until about 19:00. She was released by police to family members who came to pick her up. One report said she thanked police for helping her.

A big drink that one.

that effort should be worth good points

everyone wants to drink the alcohol rather than let the security people steal it

Kind of "in the middle;" she was hiso enough to afford the travel and get good treatment from the cops, but not hiso enough to bring anything she damn well pleased onto the airplane.

They used to try that on in Indonesia before 9/11. Bringing too much from Singapore. If stopped my mate Steve used to accidentally drop it on the tiled floor when handing it over.

My boss opened and poured a bottle of Grange into an airport bin, rather than let them bastards keep it. (he had two, and was told her had to leave one behind)

I was under the impression the sealed bags that Duty Free are now packed in were to allow transfer to an internal flight without breaking the 100ml liquid allowance.

When I am not sure if the rule will be upheld for Duty Free I don't have the bags forwarded to the next plane...then move the stuff to the main bags.

Come on KW, I hate my government but keeping weapons and possibly flammable liquids off airplanes is a legitimate function of government. The liquid restrictions came about because some Muslim asshole found a way to assemble a bomb on an airplane from innocent looking parts, one of which was a bottle that looked like contact lens solution.

I fly in and out of the US twice a year and have never been mistreated by the TSA or airport security in any other country.

do the security theatre cash clowns know he could light his own farts with two sticks and a piece of string ?

it is just theatre which is worth a lot of money in contracts to private companies and govt departments

And the odd security wanker who gets regular free bottles of booze.

We recently travelled from my city in China to HK airport, to BK, changed to a domestic flight to Phuket and somehow despite my telling her not to the wife bought along all the way from a store downstairs to our hotel a 2 litre bottle of water and a bunch of milk tetra packs for the kids.

Stand your ground until you fall down

Maybe she could've poured it into a 2L bottle of IRN BRU before getting to that airport?

I'm surprised downing a litre of pop didn't give her liver failure!

Jesus,

She must of had one god awful friggin hangover Huh.


Most probs 3 days to get back to feeling normal.

Probably depends on how much she spewed up..
