The correct answer is: No, because no monetary consideration was paid by either party.

When John said he "owes Paul one" and accepts Paul request: "okay, but you need to give me a ride to the airport next month when i go to my sister's wedding.", he is not legally obliged to uphold his promise. This is because there were no formal and written legal contract that stated this, and furthermore, both men did not agree on a monetary consideration if the promise was not upheld.
