A Scottish stag do held up a flight from Prague to Glasgow for more than two hours yesterday.
The group of 25 men had to be removed from the plane because of drunken behaviour, before it could take off from Prague International Airport.

The delay left other holidaymakers, including some families with young children, furious.
It's understood staff on the Jet2 service called in authorities to help with the stag party's rowdy behaviour and to get them off the plane.
The flight was due to get back to Glasgow Airport at around 10:20pm but didn't land until well after midnight.

Phil Ward, managing director of Jet2.com, said: "Our Onboard Together initiative supports our crew to take appropriate action to stamp out disruptive passenger behaviour on our flights, in order to protect both customers and fellow colleagues. Many of our customers on this flight were concerned about the group’s behaviour which is why we took decisive action to stop them from travelling. We will not let an unruly few stop people from having an enjoyable flight experience.
"Disruptive passenger behaviour is an ongoing issue that needs tackling for the good of the vast majority of all customers, as well as my crew and colleagues. We are working closely with airlines, airports, trade associations and other industry partners to create a consistent and robust response to this issue. We are also actively consulting with government bodies and MPs to make them aware of the problem."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
