AIRLINE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Lindsays Grandma — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 05:31:47 GMT

We all know that some people are alone, some have a small family, some have very few friends and some like myself who just lost a loved one are a bit sad at this time of the year. Laughter is a great healer so I hope what I found regarding announcements that were made on airlines will bring a smile to everyone's face, and maybe even a chuckle or two.

1. Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, just insert the metal into the bar, and pull tight. If you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unspervised.

2. People, people, we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it.

3. Ladies and Gentlemen, we've reached the cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.

4. We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you think of US, Airways.

5. There may be fifty ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this airplane.

6. Please be careful when opening the overhead bins because, you know, shift happens.

Watch for the next announcement currently being prepared.

I wish they would have thought up a funny one......instead of "We are unable to land at O'Hare because of the weather"...........

This sounds more like the kind of dialogue you hear on Southwest Airlines. Some of it sounds very familiar.

Thank you for sharing, needed the chuckle.

@Kachina624 Midway is 70 miles south of where my relative used to live..... Anyway......those planes flying into MDW come in to land about 50 feet above Cicero Ave...........scaring the --- out of passengers, and drivers on the road below. I'd rather drive down from Milwaukee if I couldn't get to O'Hare.....

That's because they've been around forever, in one form or another. Kind of the "urban legend" of announcements. I've never flown Southwest, but I've seen viral clips of their FA's using some of these. I've never heard anything like them on any of the airlines that I've flown.

I fly Southwest and we had an Attendent who was so funny with comments and one that was used was #6. I smiled during the flight just thinking about all that was said. I think people pay more attention when humor is used.

Thanks as always for your posts, I so enjoy them!

I used to fly SW almost exclusively and have heard many of these and more. I love SW but now live where we have to travel well over an hour to get to one of 'their' airports so I fly American out of our local airport. One bonus is AA flights are usually cheaper than SW here.

@Lovs2shop ...The world seems to be in such a mess, we need all the laughter we can get and I'm glad you enjoy my posts.
