(CNN) — Some members of a rowdy group shown dancing, drinking and vaping maskless aboard a flight to Cancun find themselves stranded in Mexico after their return flight to Canada was scrubbed and other airlines have declined to fly them home. The group flew to Cancun from Montreal on December 30 aboard a Sunwing Airlines charter flight for a trip organized by "exclusive private group" 111 Private Club. Video of the party on board, which shows passengers dancing and drinking in the aisles, has sparked outrage in Canada....

what happens when kids party like they're rock stars, but they're not

[Reno89519]

Yep, they forgot they were not politicians, media, or entertainers.

[dfwgator]

Yep, they obviously aren't members of "The Big Club".

Party like theres no tomorrow

and no ride home ...

When did the Puritans take over Canada (or Facebook?)

Somebody on that Party Plane is a blabbermouth. They must be really proud of themselves by now, seeing their friends being put through needless hassle after needless hassle.

They just have to catch a bus to the border and talk to a guy named Diego. A little walk over the desert and Biden’s crew will give them a free flight to any major city of their choice. Looks like the $450,000 is on hold but they might just luck into that one too.

Can’t they just book flights separately. Have all of them been banned by the airlines for being Canook party animals?

[Mears]

Damn “ rowdy groups “.

I believe that the Senate is in session next week. So hopefully Cruz can find some other way to get back to the US.

There’s a rap song in this story somewhere. Guess they’ll have to sit on the sunny beach, smoking dope and jumpin rope. A party without a country.

I call BS on that. I highly doubt anyone in Canada cares except for the one stupid Jussie who no one listens to and knows is a stupid pansy.... https://globalnews.ca/news/8489995/trudea-sunwing-slap-omicron-party-covid/

I highly suspect that ‘sparking outrage in Canada’ because of something that Jussie fomented is like saying that ‘sparking outrage in the U.S.’ was something that happened because of something stupid that Bye-Done said.

"It's a slap in the face to see people putting themselves, putting their fellow citizens, putting airline workers at risk by being completely irresponsible," Trudeau said at a briefing.

How we’re people endangered?

[MinorityRepublican]

Simple. Fly to Buffalo. Then drive across the border. This is a wake up call so they should move to USA and eventually get American citizenship.

Or a Jimmy Buffet song.

[Equine1952]

Yep, gotta watch those pop tops. 🍺

[Jeff Chandler]

I hope they sue the crap out of the airline.

Failure to listen to and follow the directions of the flight attendants?

[sergeantdave]

Take Mexican taxi to Tijuana. Stop for evening to rest up for grueling trek to US border. After crossing border, call Uber for ride to Canada. At Canada border, hire husky sled team to go home.
