Abstract
This study aims to investigate whether alcohol consumption by passengers when travelling was the same or different to their normal pattern. On the basis of 236 surveys completed by British passengers on Cyprus Airways flights, this study compares and contrasts their normal and in-flight alcohol consumption patterns. The overall results were analysed, followed with analysis within the sub-groups and from various demographic perspectives. Some significant differences from the habitual alcohol consumption behaviours (for example based on age, gender and marital status) are noted and discussed.
