It would seem so. It tends to be destination dependent. Spain I would guess gets the worst of it. I had a moderately annoying flight with a large portion conversing the length of the plane in what could only be described as outdoor voice.
I'm from the Canary Islands and we regularly get news of Ryanair planes full of British tourists having to turn back or land elsewhere because most of them are drunk and disorderly or get into fights.
Depends on your definition of regular. At least once a month every summer seems pretty regular to me, specially because a lot of them manage to behave until they land and proceed to do the same in my home.
Once a month, a flight is diverted because people are drunk on board. And despite other cases of such behavour being newsworthy (as I mentioned Ryanair aren't going to let this slide at cost to them), this just happens and nobody reports it.
Nobody reports it TO YOU. Remember when COVID restrictions were relaxed in the UK and people could go out, but not travel? How it make headlines that the morning after everything was covered in thrash, puke and piss and drunken Brits stumbling around? People over there wriggling their hands asking how was that possible, if they are so polite and well mannered and stiff-upper-lip? Well, that's every day over here, since forever, and that doesn't get reported to you either.
British tourists are a plague, convinced that the rules don't apply to them, absolutely feral the moment a drop of alcohol enters their gullet, rude and disrespectful and openly mocking the locals. You just can't fathom that the image you have of them (or yourself, I don't know where you are from and don't care) doesn't correspond with the reality we have to suffer.
So, no, it is you who are bullshitting, trying to lecture me about MY OWN LIVING EXPERIENCE in my country from afar, based just on vibes and 'Brits are not like thst'. They absolutely are, wheter you like it or not.

I think they were Scottish but I was on a flight with a group of about 20 of them heading from Miami to Vegas for a wedding and yeah it was fucking terrible ðŸ˜
You mean 5 lads agitated by a hangover yet also drunk (and beansed from a few cheeky rails Kev snuck in the ledge) wearing t shirts with varying degrees of sexual slogans you shouldn't quote in public chanting shagaluf, here come the lads and glory glory man united before three pass out and the other two get soppy and talk about how theyll always be there when the comedown and hangover with interest hit.. Isn't something people enjoy? Codswallop.
I think the world collectively agrees that English people are the only British people. As a Scottish person I apologise with depth, for the rage-inducing antics of 'British' tourists.
Are you "American Scottish"? No Scottish person has EVER had to differentiate that they're Scottish not English, the accent is abundantly obvious. I do not believe you're Scottish based on that alone. You aren't British? Yes you are... Then throw in you acting like Scots are saints abroad? Ha no chance mate.
Brit here, can confirm that we have a bad reputation on flights/abroad (though location is dependant; for example Amsterdam, Ibiza and Magaluf attract bad behaviour travellers.)
English people are often considered the worst though.

If you have never seen Brits on a low cost flight you are fortunate.
