A man has vowed to never fly with easyJet after a "horrifying" flight that saw 'drunken chaos'.
Two "intoxicated" women ruined the flight from Liverpool to Amsterdam by screaming, rapping and shouting abuse at their fellow passengers.
Mr Campbell was flying to Amsterdam with a friend to celebrate her recent promotion at work. Living in Wirral, the 35-year-old was excited to explore somewhere new, but says the EasyJet flight on January 30 was a nightmare.

He told the ECHO as they boarded the flight they could hear "shouting and rapping" from the passengers behind. He thought they were just "excited" but soon realised the women were "intoxicated".
He said: "Before the plane had even finished boarding, one of the women was stood up shouting random obscenities and rapping about her partner who is in HMP Altcourse.
"The pair continued to shout, drink and disrupt throughout the pre-flight safety briefing, so much so that despite it being described through the announcement system, I could hear nothing. My concerns increased at this point, if people cannot hear the instructions to escape in an emergency, what chaos and dangers would ensue if there was actually an issue?"
Mr Campbell said eventually staff managed to address the disruption which then led to "homophobic abuse" being shouted. He said: "Towards the end of the flight, things had gotten so bad that another passenger took it upon himself to sit next to the women and attempt to calm them down."
But the shouting and swearing continued as Mr Campbell, who works for the Ministry of Justice, claimed the female passengers attempted to shout obscenities at other passengers
He said: "I am horrified that my safety, my friend's safety and the safety of 100 plus other people were put in jeopardy because EasyJet staff would rather allow others to endure homophobic abuse during a safety briefing and full flight, rather than get told off by a manager. This shows total disregard for the people paying to be on their flight.
"I will never fly with EasyJet again, I am appalled. I would urge others that understand the severity of these actions to think twice before even considering a flight or services from EasyJet. If you do use them and have a problem, do not expect a personalised reply, any sort of explanation or recompense."
A spokesperson for EasyJet said the safety of staff and customers is of "highest priority", adding: "We are sorry to hear about Mr Campbell’s experience and are in touch with him to understand more about his flight as we do not tolerate any abusive or threatening behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of our customers is our highest priority and our cabin crew are trained to assess all situations and ensure the welfare of all onboard."
