An uneventful flight is usually a good one. All smooth sailing and aplomb. However, although you might be happy to get bored when things are going well during your journey, sometimes you yearn for something more. Something that would make you laugh and spice up the dull voyage. The pilots and crew know this, and sometimes, when the stars align, you get to hear funny airline announcements, which, at the very least, will make you snicker. We’ve gathered some of these funny airline pilot announcements for our list, and now you’ll be the judge of which ones of them are the funniest!
As far as funny announcements during a flight go, they can be literally about anything. Think about an amped-up flight attendant safety dance, a notion on the quality of refreshments, or an absurd prediction for the smoothness of an upcoming landing. So, although a pilot jokes about Godzilla meeting you at the airport, you know it (sadly? luckily?) won’t be true, hence the absurd. You know, once the crew begins with these jokes, it seems the funny announcements to make will never run out for them. But, as we said before - if all the stars align.
Another thing to do with these airline jokes is to learn some of them - that way, you’ll have loads of funny things to say to your compadres if you’re ever stuck on the most boring flight of your life. Although, boring flights are what we wish for you! Anyway, check out the submissions, give your votes to the most amusing ones, and share this article with your friends!

“Hi, I’m Captain Amanda Smith. Yes, I’m a female pilot and as a benefit, if we get lost on the way I won’t be afraid to stop and ask for directions.”
Friend was flight attendant and had a passenger asked why they stopped.Without missing a beat he said, we are at a stop light
I read a thing a female pilot and copilot said: It is no longer the cockpit. It’s the box office.
A part of me can't help but feel guilty about a kind of joke like this. On one hand I find it funny but also if a guy was joking that they'll be leaving on time because they're not a woman and won't take an extra hour getting ready to leave, would this be just as funny? I can't tell if I'm being a Karen or if it's a double standard. Something I've been trying to be more mindful of as my boyfriend has often said he's felt subjected too. Curious to hear another's thoughts. We're always so quick to jump on inappropriate women's jokes, is this different? Genuinely wanting another's thoughts if anyone is willing T.T
She could also have told them that for this trip, there wasn't a Cockpit, but a BoxOffice!!! hehe
“Please remain seated until the plane is parked at the gate. At no time in history has a passenger beaten a plane to the gate. So please don’t even try.”
Why do people rush to get off a plane. It's like being in the middle of a scrum. Stay seated wait for the chaos to stop and calmly make your way to baggage reclaim where you'll join your fellow passengers and wait for the luggage to appear on the carousel
But you will always beat your bags to the luggage carousal. Always.
JFK had ours waiting....like two lonely little suitcases....

When the plane was on the ground he stood up and some dude got pissed off at him. If he could not have stood up for a few minutes to stretch he would have had a real had time walking off the plane. Just saying sometimes there is a good reason for standing as soon as you can.
I get it, but you're supposed to be buckled up until the plane comes to an absolute halt and not stand when they're taxiing on the runway. If the plane braked while taxiing, your dad could have hurt himself. I live in a country where people are just notorious for standing up to get their bags before the plane halts. The flight attendants have to keep going "excuse me sir, please keep seated until the plane stops." and even then people don't always listen.
Load More Replies...I read a comment from a flight attendant. Plane full of marines on their way home. When the plane stopped, the people in the 1st row stood, got their bags, and walked towards the exit. Next line stood, etc. Plane was empty in something like 5 minutes. She said it was the best flight she had ever worked. So folks. Consider. Exit line by line, try to be a little patient with the idiot with too much stuff. And maybe you'll all be quicker off the plane without shoving people like you're in a rugby scrum.
Maybe making like Usain Bolt? I can just envision it now…. Activating the emergency slide. Throwing open the Emergency Exit and using the Emergency Slide to literally ‘bounce,’ onto the Tarmac to sprint off with glee into the sunset….

“I’ve just been informed that my mother-in-law has just passed security and will be shortly boarding this flight using one of my crew passes. If you all sit down fast, we should be able to get out of here before she arrives.”
When you read this - don't make a pause between "passed" and "security". It makes it sound weird.
"In case of an emergency landing, air masks will drop from the overhead compartments. Place the mask over your nose and mouth and adjust the straps on either side to secure it. If you are traveling with a small child, secure your mask first then assist them with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one child, decide which one has the most potential and assist that one first."
My poor parents 😄 (I too had “so much potential”); meanwhile my lovely, incredible little sister has worked at the FBI and a couple embassies. She does things to fight for disadvantaged people everywhere and I couldn’t be prouder
shame I felt so sad hearing that and thinking which child I'd mask up.
What I would have said is, "If you are traveling with more than one, use who you will mask first as leverage to get them to behave during the flight."
this is a loss of cabin pressure announcement, NOT an emergency landing announcement. What good would oxygen do on landing? Make you burn brighter?
Pity the poor children who are not helped first, but still survive, knowing that their parents value them less than their siblings!
“Please make sure you take all your belonging with you. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please don’t leave children or spouses.”
Funny story, my mom left me on a plane once and it was a whole thing w/ the flight attendants. I got candy tho
Please check for your belongings, they might not be returned. Children will be returned on sugar high, spouses will be released info their favourite stores🤔😌
I think I want to stay behind to be distributed amongst the flight attendants. /jk.
After a heavy landing the pilot announced, “As you may already know, we have hit our destination.”
“Please remain seated with your seatbelts securely fastened until Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the gate.”
Manual landings are very funny: the plane approaches the runway... and suddenly falls a few metres down dropping on the concrete *bamm* ^^

After a plane taxied for a long time: “If you look to your right that was the terminal we left an hour ago. I hope you enjoyed your tour of the airport. We should be leaving shortly.”
Could also be Atlanta, London, or JFK.

Did everyone else read this in "pilot voice"? "If you errrrr look to your right errrrr that was the terminal weerrrrr left an hour ago."
On a Southwest flight. Planes lands and we taxi and taxi and taxi. Pilot comes on an said the taxiing is longer than the flight. Think it was Vegas.
“That was a rough one. Since you all survived we expect you to keep all those promises you just made.”
Ha! I always thought turbulence was a series of vertical air currents. Now I realize it's a scam devised by The Almighty to cash in on promises. Clever.
Load More Replies...As the plane is taxiing to the gate the pilot announces, “We are currently recruiting people to clean the aircraft. If you wish to volunteer then please stand before we have come to a stop.”
Classic! I love it! That should shut down the "I gotta get out of here first" gang. LOL!
I feel like the pilot is a fly that has landed and is rubbing together its front legs, obviously for some nefarious purpose
"Folks we will be arriving early today because we found a shortcut."
Umm folks the shortcut is through south korea. Please keep your seat belts buckled.
Oh yeah, that's great and all, until for the first time in your life you get a free upgrade to business class in a transatlantic flight and it's the most comfortable seat and you're watching a nice movie and being pampered with free cocktails/snacks because you're the only passenger in class and is learning the flight attendant's first language so we can practice, then because of atmosphere or winds or the force of gods the flight is a whole TWO HOURS shorter. Bitches.
That's a very common thing to say and it's not even funny. Some approaches are longer, some are shorter and if the wind turns and they get permission to use the short one, they call it a shortcut.
“For those of you wondering about the weather at our destination, Honolulu is reporting sunny skies and temperatures of 86 degrees. Unfortunately, our destination is Nome Alaska which is reporting 27 degrees below zero and blowing snow.”

"Pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a special announcement to make. Ben, my co-pilot, has just gone to use the in-flight potty for the first time in his flying career. When he comes out, please give him a round of applause!""

Or he knows something about the others ability to fly

“When exiting the plane please watch out for the low overhead door. If you forget, please watch your language.”
"Most of you already have your seatbelt fastened. Now we will demonstrate how you did that."
Again, fastening your seatbelt sounds easy enough. You don't want to know how many people don't know how to unfasten it. This knowledge may help in an emergency.
“Please refrain from smoking until you reach a designated smoking area, which, for California, is Las Vegas.”
I've been to Vegas once. It was just to the airport to change planes. I needed a shower just as badly as I did after NYE in Times Square. This is accurate.
It's true...smoking allowed in casinos. Anything to keep you throwing your money away. Surprised the seats at the tables aren't commodes.

After a bumpy landing: “We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.”
Colleague of mine used to fly with him regularly. Could never get it to stay on the runway first time when landing, always the second or third try.
I had a pilot do that in the air. I was on a Lauda Air flight from Zurich to Salzburg and the captain was desperately trying to outrun a snowstorm hot on our heels. Since it was a very short flight we never ascended to full operating altitude. And because of the approaching snowstorm the weather over the Alps was extremely unstable and the whole flight felt like riding a rodeo bull.
Dated an aircraft mechanic - he hated hard landings at our home destination, knowing the plane would be sitting there for him to check once he got back to work
Ladies and gentlemen, the captain will now taxi what is left of the aircraft, to the terminal
I remember when I made my first landing, right before I made my second, and third landings, lol.
“Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt, and if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.”
The insert part of the buckle works the same as every other safety belt, it'd the undoing part that requires demonstration. (Which is why they do demonstrate it - in an emergency, drivers have been known to panic and try to remove their seat belt the way it works in their *cars*...
“Please notice that we are 10 minutes early. So the next time we are 2-3 hours late we’ll just call it even.”

"America West (Operated by Mesa): "In the event of an emergency landing, lights on the floor will illuminate to guide you to the exit. Or you could just follow me because there's no way any of you are beating me off this plane.""
“Position your seat belt tight, low and across your hips, like my grandmother wears her support bra.”
LOL Reminds me of an IRL story. INB4 - I loved my grandmothers / they were kind - but not dying makes you old. So.. my step-mother is visiting my grandmother in the rest home. They are sitting there talking and my stepmom notices something in grandma's lap. At first concerned about a growth or something weird. Then realized grandma wasn't wearing a bra and that was the end of her 'dug' hanging out past her shirt.
Co-pilot: "Give it up for your pilot, at the end of this flight he will have logged 40 hours without sleep just to get you all to your destination." Pilot: "Don't worry folks, I got some sleep in the air."
Funny, they actually do sleep on long haul flights to keep from becoming an “illegal” crew
Not quite, the general division of work is: the pilot flying is flying the aircraft (duh) while the pilot monitoring is keeping tabs of computers (engine parameters and other stuff) and radio communications, the captain can be either PF or PM by the way. For longer flights (depending on how long) there's also one or two relief pilots and then they take turns working and resting - there's a crew rest area in planes made for long routes where they can relax and even sleep

“My colleague on my right-hand side, his name is Steve Moore… He’s had a long and distinguished career with the Royal Air Force, spanning some decade or more, but luckily for us, he got rather bored of being a chef and has decided to take up flying.”
That is so typical of RAF flight crew moving to commercial. I remember one of my pilots, on his last flight (the elegant VC10) say, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, there is absolutely no need to worry'. The way the pax looked at each other! Hilarious.
“In a short time, we will serve refreshments. Please remember that we are in the airline business, not the food business.”
My Dad used to work as an engineer for Lufthansa, so when I was a kid we always flew with them because he could get cheaper flights. Then when I flew alone for the first time (It was an Aer Lingus flight from Munich to Dublin) I didn't know that I'd have to pay for my drink because I'd never flown with any airline other than Lufthansa before 😄🙈
Load More Replies...Best airline food I've ever had so far is Cathay Pacific premium economy. My first time, they served sirloin as one of the options. My second time, they served braised beef cheeks. Korean Air also has excellent food. On my economy class flight, they served Bibimbap with smoked salmon slices as one of the side dishes.
My favorite airline food to date is Emirates. I was impressed with that airline in general. Delta was probably at the bottom.

Luckily, I have only experienced turbulence on a flight one time. Unluckily, it was on a six-seater in the mountains on the way to Guadalajara, and scared me half to death.
On a Southwest flight (SW has no seating assignments; you sit where you want), passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, “People, people, we’re not picking out furniture here. Find a seat and get in it!”

"Flying out of Orang Country the flight path takes you over Newport Beach a very wealthy city. To reduce noise soon after take-off I mean REALLY SOON during the climb the pilots must cut the engines to reduce noise. It's really unnerving. Just then the flight attendant comes on the P.A. and says in a whisper: "Ssssssshhh we are flying over rich people."
i live in OC in a flight path that is not rich, so i get before they cut the engines. Its annoying, but it is also stupid how newport makes the planes cut engines.
Yep, stupid. There's a small airport in my area and somebody posted on Nextdoor (you can probably see where this is going) a complaint about how loud the planes are over his house (about two miles from the airport). I read the comments and dude got rightfully roasted. If you choose to live in a place near an airport, be sure you can put up with the noise because that's not going away.
Load More Replies...Don't remember what airport it was out of, but many decades ago the pilot came on just before takeoff and said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, shortly after takeoff you will hear the engines on the plane suddenly throttle back and we will make a sharp turn. Do not be alarmed. We are required to perform this incredibly stupid and dangerous maneuver that would get any flying student kicked out of school in order to avoid offending the delicate ears of the people below - all of whom bought their houses long after the airport was here and flying over their new homes. Wish us luck, we're going to need it." I suspect the pilot was not overly enamored of the so-called "noise abatement protocols".
if you cut the engines the plane CAN'T continue to climb, nor can it continue to even fly so these "rich people" would be getting a VERY unwanted visit by some very big planes!!!

“Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an emergency water landing please take them with our compliments.”
“Even though the small bag may not inflate you are receiving lots of gin. Oxygen, that is.”
“Southwest is going to some very new, interesting, and even exotic places nowadays. Aruba, Cancun, Jamaica… Even Flint, Michigan.”
"Sasha will be serving you and is available for dating."
“Sit back. Relax. Enjoy our hospitality. Or you can sit up and be tense. The choice is yours.”
To be honest, they could remove my seat entirely and I'd still be sitting upright. Just a little anxiety flying.
“In the seat pocket in front of you is a pamphlet about the safety features of this plane. I usually use it as a fan when I’m having my own personal summer. It makes a very good fan.”
“If you are traveling with someone who needs assistance, put your own mask on first then assist the other passenger – unless it is my ex-boyfriend, and then doesn’t bother.”
“We wouldn’t have shown up for work tonight if we’d anticipated a decompression in the cabin pressure.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the home of the World Champion 1908 Chicago Cubs!”
"Don't worry we don't have one of those convertible models like the other airlines."
"The overhead button to your left will turn on the light. The one in the middle will turn on air-conditioning. Alas, the button on your right will not turn on the flight attendant."
dangit thought she was a lightbulb. SHES ON the lightbulb. Shes LIGHT. SHE IS GOD. *Bows down to the flight attendent*
I just noticed you have a gacha OC as your profile pic!

From when I went parachuting: (While flying and the red light has come on) Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at your destination, not ours. Please mind the step as it is a bit of a doozy, and we will race you to the ground. Thank you for flying Is That The Ground airways and remember, no one has complained about our failed parachutes. My uncle on a holiday flight heard the pilot say: OK, this flight is slightly overbooked, so we are going to ask the passengers to undo their seat belts and just as we are about to take off, jump as high as possible repeatedly until we reach our desired altitude. Getting back down will be faster
“You don’t need a parachute to go parachuting. You need a parachute to go parachuting twice.”

On a Vienna - Brussels flight once, and as we were landing the flight attendant comes over the speaker saying "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dusseldorf"... Cue silence, nervous glances around the plane and then a chuckle and "I apologize for the mix-up ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Brussels".
If you're going on a package holiday and there's a likelihood of ending up in the same resort complex as a lot of the other people on the flight, those that immediately stand up and start getting their bags despite being told not to are a great indicator of who to stay the f**k away from for your entire holiday. Same with people that push forward right to the edge of the baggage collection so no one else can see when their bags are coming. They may as wear a badge saying 'd******d.. avoid at all costs'.
As the plane was coming in for a landing: "Whoa, big fella...whoa..."
“We’ve reached our beautiful destination of Las Vegas, where the local time is…party time!!!” Honest to goodness. And he never said what the actual local time was. It was funny.
And if we land on water, your seat acts as a flotation device. Feel free to keep it, we won't be needing it back!
Flight announcement from Wyoming to Atlanta. Your Floatation device is under the seat. If it is needed we are WAY off course!
