Manchester Airport has issued a warning to passengers who drink alcohol before flying.
Holiday season has arrived as people across the country will be jetting off on summer getaways. Many people like to start their trip early and enjoy an alcoholic beverage at the airport.
However, Manchester Airport has urged people to drink responsibly as they may not be allowed to board their plane. A tweet said: "Did you know that if you are deemed unfit to fly, you may be denied boarding and you could face up to two years in jail for disrupting a flight?"

The warning is part of the One Too Many campaign, which has been launched to encourage holidaymakers to fly responsibly. Holidaymakers could face a £5,000 fine if their disruptive behaviour results in a flight being delayed.
The fine could be as high as £80,000 if the disruptive behaviour happened mid air and forces the plane to divert. If you cause a flight to be cancelled then you may be hit with an airline ban.
The UK aviation industry said it is "committed to tackling disruptive behaviour through a voluntary Code of Practice". The practice promotes:
- A zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour
- The identification, pre-emption, management and reporting of disruptive incidents
- The responsible sale and consumption of alcohol; and
- Education and communication with passengers.
