Apparently, four friends from Dublin were so eager to have a beer together in a pub that they pulled out all the stops.

Dublin pubs are closed until December 1, pick-up only. But at Dublin airport, the catering industry is normally open. And so the four bought airline tickets at 9.99 euros each, checked in, came through security and dropped down with a beer.
But they weren’t there yet. To be able to buy a beer, they first had to order a meal of at least 9 euros; a rule that dates back to spring to avoid hopping from one bar to another.
Incidentally, they had no intention of boarding a plane at all. The management of Dublin Airport has therefore announced that they are not happy with the promotion. They calculated that the four friends first had to spend 75.96 euros on airline tickets and food to have a beer. It is feared that people will copy this action.
A spokesperson told British media that it is indeed possible to leave the airport without boarding. But the flight for which the foursome had bought a ticket may have departed with a delay.
