A flight attendant on a Spirit Airlines flight from Dallas to Los Angeles recently left passengers dismayed after she made a cheeky intercom rant that went viral.
In the footage, the woman, who remains unidentified, joked around with the passengers about fictional fees that she may apply, presumably to mock budget airlines that charge for extras such as food, drinks, seat choice, and extra legroom.
“No, we do not have sockets for you to charge up your phones because if we did, we will charge you,” she said.
“No, we do not have blankets for you because if we did, this is Spirit and we will charge you.”
Passengers quickly caught on and joined in on the joke.
Having time on the intercom to flex their funny bones is one of the advantages of being a flight attendant who enjoys the limelight.
It’s quite easy to switch off during the pre-flight announcements and assume you’ve heard it all before if you’re a frequent flyer, so a cabin crew member who throws in some funny lines can help keep things fresh.
The flight attendant’s intercom rant is not the first time that cabin crew members have gone viral for their humour on flights.
One flight attendant recently went viral after he left passengers in stitches with his own version of the safety instructions.
The member of cabin crew told travellers to store carry-on luggage all the way under the seat in front of them to ensure it doesn’t become a safety hazard.
He then joked that even Gucci bags should be stored under the seat, and “Especially if it’s a fake Gucci bag.
What happened was, when we reach 5,000 feet, the Gs going to be falling off, the handle gonna be breaking, you gonna get to Philly with an Ucci bag.”
The intercom rant by the Spirit Airlines flight attendant may not have been to everyone’s liking, and it is unclear whether the airline has taken any action in response.
Nonetheless, the humorous approach by some cabin crew members can help to make the flight experience more enjoyable for passengers, and lighten the mood on flights.
