Pfffft she's lucky the Luftwaffe didn't just toss her out the plane mid flight

Why bother travelling to some of these countries?

Sh-t would never happen to me cause I wouldn't waste my time or money.

I thought Dubai was lax with that stuff

this is a bollocks story. I very much doubt she was arrested for drinking wine on a plane. Sounds like she was arrested for being a stroppy ignorant bitch with the officials

I don’t know X it is illegal to drink in many Muslim airspace but usually the flight crew makes sure that is followed. You could be right but I know it does happen in certain Muslim countries

No mate, I lived in Abu Dhabi for 4 years. Just like Dubai, thay are relaxed about alcohol. The booze definitely isn't the issue.

something else went on there that is not being reported , I think
