Party Flights Themed After Nightclubs
Monarch, the European budget airline, is offering Ibiza-bound passengers a more exciting way to travel. Revelers en route to the world's foremost destination for clubbing and all-around debauchery can now get started early on the company's new "party plane."
Or can they?
Because, by the sounds of it, the party is a little lame. While the inside is said to be decked out in bright colors and a nightclub theme, cabin crews won't be tolerating any drunken behavior, and anyone who's already intoxicated won't be allowed on board in the first place. It's been awhile since I've been clubbing, but -- if memory serves -- isn't getting drunk more or less the point?
But, says Monarch, the fun part is that you'll be able to buy "funky" music CDs during your "party plane" experience. Unfortunately, a) this doesn't sound like fun at all, and b) it seems to run contrary to their claims of "chic hedonism."
On the other hand, "it's the first time a plane has ever adopted a music brand," says a company spokeswoman. This may not make the new planes much of a party, but is certainly something that set them apart from the competition.
So, a little in-flight fun -- even if it's subdued -- might be a good way to get the party started, even if you'll have to hold back on the real rowdy behavior until after arrival.
