Our flight to Durban was a good one
Thanks to the airline we flew with
Check them out
Yep, you read right
That says THIS SIDE UP on the side of the plane
The airline is actually called KALULA Airlines
But this is how they paint their planes
Two years ago when we flew domestically here
We flew with an airline called ONE TIME Airlines
And I remember at the time thinking I’d be much more comfortable if they called themselves, EVERY TIME Airlines
But this, this RIGHT SIDE UP mob
Are funny as fuck
And the funny doesn’t stop on the outside of the plane
Once on board, the flight attendant’s ‘welcome on board / safety spiel’ was hilarious
I don’t usually pay much attention to them
And my payback for playing Scrabble on my iPhone while I’m supposed to be listening to the safety briefing
Will no doubt be being the only one with my lifejacket on backwards
And not able to find an exit from my own arsehole
If the plane I’m on ever goes down
But I have it on good advice from some mates that work in the airline industry
That, “If you ditch, you DIE”
Lovely thought
But this crew had my attention from the get go
With an announcement that started with
“There may be 50 ways to leave your lover – but there’s only 8 exits on this aircraft”
Gold
Once we landed and were disembarking
One of the flight attendants said over the P.A,
(and I’m pretty sure it’s because there was an article on Dad in the inflight magazine)
“Please refrain from smoking and vulgar language until you are in a designated area”
Who knew flying could be such a laugh?
That “50-Ways, 8 Exits” remark is GOLD! I like an airline with a sense of humour, as long as it doesn’t include a smartarse pilot that says (and acts out), “If we hit turbulance, the plane will do THIS…But if we are crashing, the plane does THIS!” Yes…I am a nervous flyer that prays more in a plane than in church!
