Airline Joke

Two old friends meet at the St. Louis airport. They have some time to kill, so they decide to go to the bar and enjoy a few drinks together.

As they hoist drink after drink, they make a toast with each glass.

It comes time to get to the gate and board the plane. Settled in seats, they order drinks and continue toasting and drinking.

About an hour into the flight, one says, “I want to toast to modern science!”

“Modern science? Why modern science?”

“Because I think it is a tribute that here we sit, two old buddies, sharing a drink at 40,000 feet, and you’re going to New York, and I’m going to San Francisco!”

The Funny Side of Flight Attendants

Flight attendants are known for their safety demonstrations and announcements, but some go above and beyond to entertain passengers.

One flight attendant on a Southwest Airlines flight rapped the safety instructions to the tune of Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It,” while another on a Virgin America flight performed a stand-up comedy routine during the safety demonstration. These creative approaches grab passengers’ attention and make the safety instructions more memorable.

Flight attendants also have a knack for making humorous announcements during the flight.

One flight attendant on a Delta flight announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a passenger on board who is allergic to nuts. So please refrain from eating any nuts on this flight. And if you brought your own nuts, please hold onto them until we land.”

Another flight attendant on a Southwest Airlines flight announced, “In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.”

In-Flight Entertainment

In-flight entertainment can also provide a source of humor during air travel. Some airlines offer funny movies or TV shows that make passengers laugh out loud.

For instance, Delta Airlines offers the movie “Bridesmaids,” which is known for its comedic moments. Emirates Airlines offers the TV show “The Big Bang Theory,” which is popular for its witty humor.

In addition to traditional in-flight entertainment options, some airlines offer unexpected sources of entertainment. For example, Virgin America offers a feature called “Seat-to-Seat Delivery,” which allows passengers to send drinks or snacks to other passengers on the flight. This feature not only provides a source of entertainment but also creates a sense of camaraderie among passengers.

Witty Airline Safety Videos

Airline safety videos are necessary for air travel, but they don’t have to be boring.

Some airlines have created humorous safety videos that not only grab passengers’ attention but also make the safety instructions more memorable. For example, Air New Zealand created a safety video featuring characters from “The Hobbit” movie franchise, while Delta Airlines created a safety video featuring internet memes.

These humorous safety videos make passengers more likely to pay attention to the safety instructions and create a positive association with the airline.

By finding humor in air travel, we can reduce our stress levels, improve our mental health, and create positive memories and experiences. So the next time you’re on a flight, take a moment to appreciate the funny and entertaining aspects of air travel and share your experiences with others.
