    It's highly unlikely that even if he was able to book a ticket in that state that he would be allowed to board the plane.

    I think the ability to perform technological tasks whilst completely pickled depends on the person. I've seen someone install a new hard drive whilst drunk, only vaguely remembering it the next day and they did it perfectly lol! Booking a flight is just a few clicks really.

    But yes, good point about allowing him on the flight.

    EDIT ooh someone just put the following comment on the DM page:

    "Soz to burst his bubble, it was all planned. My mother works with some of his friends and they already knew he was going to pull a stunt like this. He even pre-ordered euro's. Do you really think they'd let him in a plane in a state that he couldn't remember a flight?"

    I love the bit on his tweet which says ...

    " Walked past the Eiffel Tower 3 times! Not a clue where I am!"

    Oh, I dunno. Reckon there's a bit of a clue in there somewhere! :rolleyes:
    After 'waking up the toilet at CdG' he'd have had to take the RER in to Paris and then the metro over to the tower, so he'd have been pretty sure exactly where he was and how he got there....

    Yeah, cause he didn't have the whole thing planned at all:rolleyes: Wanna go on a night out to Paris, knock yourself out, but why try and pass it off as some drunken escapade?

    After a NIGHT out you wouldn't have time to book a plane, get to the airport, check in, and get on the plane. Planes to Europe don't leave in the middle of the night.

    Brilliant. That's what being a teenager should be about.

    Don't believe a word of that.

    But I suppose the idiot will be being hailed a "legend" by his buddies.

    Haven't we? :o

    Many years ago a mate of mine tried some "alcoholic jelly" at a cafe in Basildon. He woke up at about 8am the following morning in a telephone box in Wolverhampton, with only one shoe and a front tooth missing. To this day he hasn't a clue how he got there, nor how he lost his shoe and tooth, as he can't remember a thing.

    The teenager is a liar. There is no way he was that drunk, that he didnt know where he was. Hes made up the story about being drunk.

    I'm not buying it either.

    It could have been worse, going out for a drink in Paris,
    and waking up in the toilet that IS Oldham.

    Only one shoe and a gap in his teeth where one had mysteriously disappeared?
    He must have fit in well in Wolverhampton, could he manage the accent?

    He remembers far too much about buying the ticket, getting to the airport,and checking in for it to be that much of a drunken escapade.

    Oh well, hope he enjoys his 5 mins of fame.

    The one amazing thing was that he still had his wallet.

    Sounds like more a case of, 'wow, how wild folk will think I am', rather than a genuine 'where the hell am I', experience.

    Agreed. With the hope his documented escapade will go viral and he'll become a Twitter/Reddit legend.

    Does ending up getting on the wrong bus and ending up in the wrong town after an organised night out to a night club in Spain . We soon sobered up when we had to try and get back to our hotels:D

    His plane left the UK at 6am. Sounds reasonable to me? :confused:

    You can get through an airport and on to a plane in about 30 minutes when it's quiet, I've done it before. Straight through check-in, customs and the gate. Don't forget, you can book a flight on a smartphone app now in about 5 minutes.

    Air-travel is a breeze as long as you aren't going at peak times and don't look suspicious enough to attract extra checks. From reading this thread, half of you seem to think it's the most major hassle in the world.

    Some people on this thread have obviously led very boring lives.

    I thought it was quite funny. That's what being nineteen is about. Generally doing daft stuff and having a good time. I've done a few outrageous things while out drinking at his age but nothing beats that.
