Flight Attendant Distracts Passengers From Departure Delay With Hilarious Safety Instructions

Storyful

An airline attendant distracted passengers from some flight-delay woes by delivering some safety instructions in a hilarious manner while on the tarmac at Baltimore/Washington airport. Shahyra Monique Grant told Storyful that the front wheel of the plane wouldn’t release, which resulted in a delay of over an hour during her trip back in May 2022. In the video, which she posted on TikTok, the steward can be seen entertaining the passengers by adding jokes to his safety instructions. “If you are travelling with more than one child, first of all why, sweetie? We’re going to Puerto Rico,” the steward can be heard saying in his oxygen mask instructions, adding, “but look to the left and then look to the right, and then choose the one with the most earning potential after college.” Grant praised the staffer, saying, “It was because of that flight attendant that we all made it through that flight. He was able to keep us all distracted with humor while we waited to takeoff.” Credit: Shahyra Monique Grant via Storyful

A woman headed to Hawaii to celebrate surviving late-stage breast cancer was filled with emotion when the captain on her Southwest flight gave her a special shout-out on September 4.

After almost passing away during one of her treatments, she thought a vacation was necessary to prove to cancer it hadn’t won and she still had the strength to go on with life!” she said. The surprise announcement was planned by Jones’s husband, Garrison, who wrote an email to the airline ahead of the flight and printed a letter for the flight attendant before boarding the plane, Jones told Storyful. In the footage, the captain can be heard in his announceme

Luggage Piles Up at Chicago's Midway Airport Amid Travel Disruption

Travel disruption continued for passengers at Chicago Midway International Airport in Illinois into Tuesday, December 27, as flights were cancelled nationwide, local media reported. Footage taken by Twitter user @carie_elaine shows luggage sitting uncollected at the baggage claim at the airport. They said it was filmed just after midnight on Tuesday. The Twitter user told Storyful they located their luggage using an AirTag and tweeted, “⁦@SouthwestAir should be ashamed of themselves.” The US Department of Transportation said on Monday that it was concerned about Southwest Airlines’s “unacceptable” rate of cancellations over the holiday weekend, and that it would examine whether the cancellations had been controllable. Southwest Airlines said on Monday that consecutive days of extreme winter weather had forced it to fly around one third of the airline’s usual schedule for several days.  The airline said its “heartfelt apologies for this are just beginning”. Credit: @carie_elaine via Storyful
