A Queensland man who was drunk and vaping on board a Jetstar flight to Hobart has avoided a conviction for offensive and disorderly conduct on a plane and abusing and threatening police.

Prior to getting on the plane, the rowdy passenger had drunk so much that he had no recollection of even boarding the flight. The 27-year-old paid the total of a $4,000 fine but recorded no conviction against him.

Since the incident the passenger has been remorseful and made a full commitment to ceasing his drinking habits completely.
