Sources Say Airline Ran Out Of Beer Flying Scotland Fans To The World Cup
A plane full of Scottish soccer fans turned a transatlantic flight into a rolling pregame, draining the aircraft’s entire beer supply before touching down in Boston. Some passengers reportedly started drinking around 1 a.m., long before landing, setting the tone for a long travel day ahead of their World Cup opener.
The flight carried supporters heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. By the time the plane reached Logan International Airport, the onboard beer stock was gone, leaving crew and passengers without any remaining supply for the final stretch. The story quickly spread after arrival, highlighting just how intense fan travel has become during the tournament.
Boston gets a lot of visiting crowds, but this one raised the bar for sheer volume. It is the kind of travel story that feels almost too exaggerated until the receipts show up. The Scots showed up early, loud, and already warmed up for kickoff.
