Can you serve alcohol to an escorted passenger?

• A. Yes you can serve them
• B. No you can't serve them
• C. Only with consent
• D. Only if escorted by security

Answer: (B)

When a passenger is escorted by security, the safety and security of everyone on board takes precedence. Alcohol can impair judgment, lower restraint, and complicate enforcement of rules or an ongoing security situation. Because of these risks, crew policy generally prohibits serving alcohol to anyone who is being escorted. Consent from the passenger does not override these safety concerns, and the presence of an escort signals that keeping alcohol service restricted helps maintain order and safety. In other words, the appropriate practice is to refrain from serving alcohol to an escorted passenger, even if they request it.
