It’s in-flight entertainment nobody asked for.
Passengers on a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Lourdes, France, became disgruntled when a man used the intercom system to lead a singalong of “Hold Me Now” by Irish musician Johnny Logan.
Although some passengers didn’t mind the impromptu performance — a few even joined in and laughed along with the amateur crooner — others took umbrage with the music.
“I know you are not famous for your in flight entertainment but this is taking the piss,” furious passenger Pete Farrell posted Monday to Twitter, along with a minutelong clip. “Me and the kids would like our money back please.”
To end the midflight show, the mystery man thanked those onboard for listening, telling them “see you later,” and gave a flight attendant a kiss on the cheek.
The Post has contacted Ryanair for comment.
Farrell told Dublin Live: “I run a little church group (not cool I know) and was taking over a few of the kids to see the [sanctuary of Lourdes] shrine. Group of men arrived at the gate, they were mannered to start but proceeded to get more and more drunk. Not the worst thing in the world but certainly tested our patience. They certainly weren’t going on a pilgrimage anyway!”
Twitter users were divided on the man’s performance.
“This was a hijacking,” one declared, while another added: “Unless that’s the real Johnny Logan I’d be asking for my money back.”
But some Twitter users said the disgruntled passengers should “lighten up.”
“Painful, but he was only having a bit of a laugh,” one user wrote.
“Get that a lad a drink. Some voice, hey,” quipped another.
Ryanair has recently made headlines for chaotic flight experiences.
Earlier in the month, two passengers were captured on video swinging at each other on a flight from Malta to London after one allegedly refused to let the other get to his window seat.
Flight attendants and fellow passengers quickly intervened and separated the pair.
In a statement, Ryanair said: “Two passengers on this flight from Malta to Stansted (3 July) became disruptive ahead of take-off. Cabin crew diffused the situation before the aircraft departed safely for Stansted following a minor delay.”
