Flying Fun

Gone are the days when flying in an aeroplane is the privilege of the high and mighty. As competition increased in the skies prices plummeted and sometimes even lower than the railways and thus building a new breed of flyers. 


But as it happens, old habit die hard as the train goers suddenly embarked on their dream machines, some hilarious situation were bound to follow, who still would love to carry their lunch boxes along with the 5 litre water jars for their entire families and would always want to stand first in the boarding queue in the expectation of sitting near the window seats. 


Some common experiences and jokes for air flyers especially in low-cost airlines. 


Some passengers grab seats as they enter the plane:- Old habits learned on trains and buses die hard after all.

Most prefer front row seats which have more leg room :- If a wheel-chair passenger comes, nothing but a war of words follows.

Some insist on sitting near emergency exits against the rules :- Any attempt to dislodge them is met with stiff resistance.

Sweet talk & cajoling to erring passengers, is strictly for the birds :- What works finally is an announcement by the pilot that the plane won’t take off till the culprit obeys.

First-timers look down from the sky and ask, Are those Cotton? :- That isn’t cotton, they are told, its clouds.

Some want to know why the plane is stationary and why matter outside isn’t flying zip-zap :- They have to be told to their astonishment the plane is flying at 800 Kmph.

Some try to open emergency exit handles :- They feel hot inside and want some cool air!

Some husbands wait outside the plane toilet as their wives are inside :- She may get locked inside.

Some want to have their entire baggage in the cabin itself :- The cargo section of the plane is a foreign concept to them.

A passenger being asked to board the airline bus :- I bought a plane ticket, not a bus one. I will walk.
