We’ve been really very lucky in the past decade when it comes to experiencing the absurd…particularly when it comes to flying. Not only have we had to adjust to all the new security hoops we have to jump through, but by the time you finally get on that plane, buck naked and with your passport tatooed on your chest, it’s time to take out your wallet…the only thing left that fits into the little slot that determines how big your carry on baggage can be.
Thank god though for all these fun people out there who take the time to make a point of the absurd to lighten things up for us. They remind us that the best way to work with it is to just laugh about it and carry on. Here’s a little clip that should be played on the electronic check-in kiosks at the airport. It will remind us all to hit the ATM, the bathrooms and the restaurant before we board, and hopefully put us in the good spirits we need to make it through the flight.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the reality of it all…

Yup, gone are the days when you could sit back, remove your shoes, enjoy a proper “free” drink and a cigarette!!!
Ahhhh the good old days!!!
This clip kills me… I’m still lauging!
Thank you for reminding me to prepare myself for my next flight!!!
Priceless! Great find Kharim.
Just got back from a weekend trip, and I tell you, we arrived completely parched after finding out we had to BUY water on the plane… no hot drinks, you could buy a little 2 oz cup of coke for $5 or a beer for $8, no crackers nothing. I found myself trying to lick the ice off the outside of the window after a few hours. Now when they do the intro they say “we are here primarily for your safety”… well no guff! I mean they don’t do anything else the airline stewardesses, except tell you all the things you can’t have while you are on board! ha ha.
You dump your water at security then have to pay $5 for a bottle on the other side, the plane I took on the way down had “festival seating”… unless you paid $15 to select a seat… ha ha ha… so as you can imagine we left 20 minutes late because people were trying to find seats!
Great clip.!
Hilarious!! I am so glad I decided to quit the Airline industry..10 years of this absurdity was enough for me!
Thanks for posting this clip!!
You guys are really making me smile!
