There's some video footage circulating of an interaction between a Delta captain and a passenger on a recent flight. There's not much context for what happened, so I'm doing my best to piece together the interaction. The video starts with the pilot approaching…

A TikTok user posted a "life hack" about how to never lose your boarding pass. Apparently the method is to show up at the airport with your boarding pass printed on a five foot piece of paper. Surprisingly he seems to have no issues at any point of the…
This is kinda cool... As many schools restart in-person classes, there are updated health and safety protocols. Well, Yeshiva University seemingly decided to have a bit of fun with this. The school has created a video highlighting what's being called…
I love watching takeoff and landing videos, especially at a time when most of us are seeing fewer planes in person. Well, a video of a Kuwait Airways Boeing 777-300ER landing yesterday at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport was captured from a couple of different…
I figure we could all use some travel humor at this point. Check out this hilarious video just uploaded by a YouTuber that has some pretty spot-on observations about the world of "travel influencers." The video gave me a good laugh, and I'm sure it's…
I'll be the first to admit that I know almost nothing about TikTok. I'm getting old, and the whole concept seems confusing to me. However, a friend linked me to some airline TikToks, and they cracked me up. I figure we can all use some airline humor…

A YouTuber named "Queen MK" uploaded a video to YouTube yesterday about a flight attendant who was fired from Emirates, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. To start, I should mention that it appears the vlogger used to work for Emirates, but is…
This can't help but put a smile on my face. Scandinavian Airlines employees have created a music video to reflect the current times, and it's really cute. As it's described: This song and video was made with love for our job in aviation. It is dedicated…
On most topics I'm happy to agree to disagree, and respect other opinions. One exception is those who refuse to wear face masks on planes for ridiculous reasons, like claiming it violates their freedom. The scientific community is more or less in agreement…
Earlier I came across a really cool video on YouTube of Air China taking delivery of a Boeing 747-8 back in 2014 (yes, this was a long time ago, but when you're home and not traveling you start to look for aviation videos online). This was apparently…
Yesterday I shared my take on the best airline boarding music to enjoy at home. Continuing with the theme of enjoying airline-related things at home, today I wanted to share some of my favorite airline ads that were produced in the past 20 years. At…
It goes without saying that we've evolved a lot as a society (though different cultures have evolved at different paces and in different ways). As you'd expect, marketing has evolved similarly, and was different decades ago than it is now. That's especially…
This is a sad and scary time in the airline industry. There will be bankruptcies, there will be job losses, and there will be a new normal. I've seen lots of airline employees post messages of solidarity and encouragement, though generally the tone isn't…
Yesterday was Earth Day, and what an unusual Earth Day it was: On the plus side, I imagine yesterday had the lowest emissions from travel of any Earth Day in a very long time Unfortunately for most of us the earth is currently limited to our homes Yesterday…
While airlines aren't spending a whole lot of money on advertising at the moment, American Airlines has just released an uplifting new brand message video. As American Airlines describes the video: The intent of this video is to create a timely, uplifting,…
Admittedly there are more important things going on in the world than new airline safety videos, though I find this interesting nonetheless. We've known for a while that American Airlines was supposed to introduce a new safety video, which was to coincide…
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…
In May 2019, Aeroflot had a deadly crash landing with a Sukhoi Superjet 100. The plane was scheduled to operate a flight from Moscow to Murmansk, but after takeoff the pilots declared an emergency. The plane landed back in Moscow 27 minutes after it…
There aren't many airlines putting effort into ads right now, but Emirates has just released a new ad called "Do you remember?" This comes at a time when Emirates' entire fleet is grounded, and global aviation is more or less shut down. This ad is brilliant,…
Andrew B passes along something that showed up on his Facebook timeline. He says "this might be the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen," and I don't think he's too far off. DEMIC is a Facebook page with nearly 14 million followers, with the following…
A couple of days ago I shared the hilarious video of what it's like when flight attendants work from home, which made me laugh out loud at several points. While perhaps a bit lower budget and more amateur, there's also a hilarious pilot version of this,…
While overall demand for air travel is low at the moment, we are seeing a number of rescue and repatriation flights to pick up stranded travelers, as well as a bunch of extra cargo flights to get supplies around. Wamos Air is a Spanish charter airline…
