I think we can all use a good laugh at this point, so take a look at the below video of what happens when you check a bag with crabs, and that doesn't end well at baggage claim... As it turns out, the video is from 2017 in Nassau. I hadn't seen the…

Video: When Flight Attendants Work From Home
We could all use a good laugh right about now. Check out this hilarious skit of what it would be like if flight attendants worked from home: Well played!
10 Of My Funniest Travel Memories
I feel like we could all use some humor at this point, given that many of us haven't really left our homes in over two weeks. I figured I'd dig through the over 13 years or archives here at OMAAT to bring you some of my most amusing firsthand travel…
Saturday Night Live’s “Airline Pilots” Skit
Saturday Night Live has airline-themed skits with some frequency, and they had their latest such skit yesterday. On last night's SNL there was a skit called "Airline Pilots," starring Harry Styles and Mikey Day. The nearly five minute skit is about two…
Airline Twitter Humor: Lexus & Poppers Edition
I don't envy those who work in airline social media. I sort of feel like it has become a necessary evil for airlines. Many airlines decide that they need to provide customer service there, though I find that they largely do a poor job: -- It seems their…
Amazing: #RevolutionaryWarAirportStories
I don't remember the last time I've laughed as hard as I did today. I actually have tears in my eyes as I scroll through Twitter. During President Trump's July 4th address yesterday, he said something that raised a lot of eyebrows. Specifically, he talked…
Marriott Spa: “Release Your… Feelings!”
I'm staying at a Marriott (which shall remain nameless for the moment), and on the side of the hotel is an ad that's maybe four feet by six feet, which looks as follows: In fairness, I feel like this would be quite appropriate at some Marriott hotels…
EPIC: WestJet Announces Flyre Festival
I try to live without regrets, though if there's one regret I have, it's that I didn't have the opportunity to attend Fyre Festival. I might be an introvert, but it just seemed like such a pleasant group of likeminded people, and I can't help but think…
Hilarity Ensues As Man Takes Off Pants On Air France Flight
We see all kinds of stories of people doing weird things on planes. In most cases I avoid sharing them, either because the person being talked about can be identified, or because it’s clear the person doing something might have mental issues. But…
Video: SNL Parodies Scottish Air Traffic Controllers
Saturday Night Live seems to have air travel themed skits with some frequency nowadays. I'd say they're mostly pretty funny, though I think generally the more you know about a topic, the less funny these skits become. For example, in the past couple…
Just For Laughs: The Seven Emotional Stages Of A Mistake Fare
The last week has seen a flurry of activity with several amazing 'special'/mistake fares coming and going. Each time a fare like this comes along, there's usually a roller coaster of emotions. Way back in 2005 a list of the various stages of these fares…
Choose Our United Polaris Cooking Adventure!
United hilariously released their Polaris Cookbook a few weeks ago, because we clearly all want to replicate tasty partially-frozen paninis and other such delicacies in the comfort of our own kitchens. Joking aside, this is actually a decently organized…
Popeyes Sold “Emotional Support Chicken” At Philadelphia Airport Yesterday
This year US airlines have started to crack down on emotional support animals, with Delta (for example) introducing restrictions on them three separate times. This followed airlines seeing a huge increase in both the number and types of emotional support…
Air New Zealand’s New Safety Video Is A Rap
Air New Zealand is hands down the most innovative airline when it comes to their safety videos. Some of my favorite safety videos have been from Air New Zealand, and they’ve typically introduced at least two new safety videos per year. Their safety videos…
Getting A Kenyan Visa On Arrival: A Comedy Of Errors
Yesterday morning I landed in Nairobi on Kenya Airways' first nonstop flight from New York. We got an incredible welcome from hundreds of people, including the country's vice president, and I was in disbelief at just how much effort they put into welcoming…
Drunken Newlyweds Purchase Their Honeymoon Hotel
All of us around here love to travel, and a honeymoon can be the one time in your life when you throw logic out the window and price and value doesn't matter, so you can truly have that 'once in a lifetime' experience. You know that I rarely stay in…
Thomas Cook’s Special Livery: Open The Door For A Surprise
If you don't have the sense of humor of a 12 year old, by all means skip this post. A few weeks ago I wrote about Cathay Pacific's botched paint job. They sent a 777 off to Xiamen to be repainted in the new livery, and it was flown back to Hong Kong…
EgyptAir Magazine Has BIZARRE Interview With Drew Barrymore
I'm not usually someone who reads magazines, though I do find myself reading inflight magazines more than just about any other paper publication. Sometimes I find myself a bit bored on a plane either during taxi or takeoff, so the reading material in…
Vilnius Declares Itself ‘The G-Spot Of Europe,’ Offends Catholic Church
Alrighty then! I visited Vilnius in May last year with a group of friends, for a cheap and easy weekend away. It was a pretty city, very affordable with some crazy nightlife. We ended up running into our local 'free walking tour' guide on the Saturday…
British Airways Has A Hilarious New Safety Video
Many airlines put quite a bit of effort into their safety videos nowadays. Rather than just making them informational and boring to the point that people tune out, they try to make them engaging, so that people are more likely to pay attention. Last…
Aeromexico Offers Hilarious World Cup Discount To Thank Korea For Saving Them
Yesterday when I called my dad and asked him how he was, he said "not good, not good at all, Benny." I was worried. "Is everything okay? What's wrong? You're scaring me." "Germany iz out ov zhe World Cup." So while many are pretty sad right now about…
