There's a complaint against NZ athletes too, but nothing official. I guess they were just loud, which could be annoying in a plane. But I would give them slack
Key difference is turned down music when asked, wore masks when asked, and settled down when asked. Otherwise partied and drank half the booze on teh plane ... well done

Sounds like your average holiday flight from the UK.
Always seems to be stag do’s or “lads weekends” or hen parties that are tanked from early drinking at Wetherspoons in the airport then continuing during the flight.Never done that

it was that old Gerard Depardieu incident on a plane a few years ago that I thought went a bit far.
