Point Me To The Controls!
A pilot seems to be having fun and catching a break by pretending to be blind. The joke is that due to his profession, the “disability” can prove to be fatal. He grabbed on to a cane and sunglasses and started doing a part that had his colleagues rolling in laughter!
However, if an unaware passenger sees this, they will probably be scared for their life! Even with autopilot, there is a lot to do in the cockpit. Hopefully, there were no complaints made to the airlines, and it flew below the radar!
Nope, Not In Here
With frequent attacks and a drastic increase in notorious activities, airport security has long since beefed up worldwide. Since it is the gateway to your region, it is vital to screen everyone who is entering. The procedures involve full-body scans, frisking, and removing some of the items worn. Things can quickly get awkward since you need a pat-down from head to toe and front and back.
Although if you think about it, for the officers, this is their daily tasks. They end up screening thousands of passengers, so for them, it is very much part and parcel of their lives!
Lean On Me
You can witness a lot of emotions at the airport. Separation, love, excitement, hurry, but the most prominent one remains exhaustion – all of them are quite draining. This is the reason why neck pillows have been becoming a necessary accessory these days! But, when you need to sleep and don’t have one, what do you do? You improvise!
Thankfully, this couple became each other’s support, literally. The duo did not have a care in the world as to how they looked in that position. Yet apparently, someone found the whole scenario intriguing enough and snapped a picture!
A Moving Bed
Airports are exhausting for adults; we cannot even imagine the effects that the place has on kids. Long flights and all the activity sure end up draining a lot of their energy. Soon, they are begging for a place to crash down. But, when the flight has landed, and it is time to head to the destination, and there is no time to take a nap, you sleep ON the next best place you can find – a suitcase!
The father seems to be quite amused too, but is probably relishing in the few moments of peace and decided not to wake up his daughter!
Fooled Ya!
These days airports are more about providing convenience rather than transport. You can find just about anything, but the most important thing is finding a working socket to plug in your gadgets! It has become crucial to have them fully charged, especially when you want to cut yourself off from the disturbing world outside.
But, what happens when you are trying to plug your phone in but the outlet is fake? This is what happened with the poor kid! Honestly, in this digital age, it is a mean prank to pull.
Love Thyself
Why reliable on anyone to love when you can love yourself? That’s our PSA for today, folks! It is definitely inspired by this bold lady who had the brilliant idea of printing her smiling face on the luggage. The benefits are multi-fold – the bags will never get lost, it is easy to identify from the hordes of baggage in the airport, and you get to show yourself off!
While some people may consider this tacky, we absolutely love it. When you love a picture of yourself, broadcast it without any reservations!
The Ability To Fit Into Tight Spaces
We are indeed jealous of the people who have the craft ability to fit into any tight space! Their envious build and flexibility allow them to adapt to precarious situations fairly easily! Just curling up in one seat was not enough for the girl since she probably wanted to make use of all the empty chairs. The ambitious lady has somehow wedged herself under all the armrests and is now napping away peacefully.
We are unclear as to how this is possible and honestly am amazed! Hopefully, they aren’t sleeping too hard and don’t end up missing the flight.
Brother From Another Mother!
As you grow older, you tend to branch out. The only downside to the thrilling ride is moving away from the family. Years go by before you can find the time to meet family and old friends. When holidays come, we do get the opportunity to visit them. The guys in the picture look like a pair of cousins who are the life of the party and probably often up to no good.
Yet, they are not related, and we were surprised to find that they were just two kindred spirits that found each other at the airport!
Is She Alive?
Waiting for a flight is boring as is, and if delayed, the boredom gets kicked into top gear. We understand what the woman is going through, especially looking like this! She is slumped forward with a fabric mushed up to be acting as a pillow!
Not everyone has the budget to take a hotel and catch a break, so you have to make the best out of a situation! We hope that she didn’t miss her flight because she honestly looks to be sleeping soundly - without a care in the world.
Take Your Child For A Ride
The internet is full of memes about what happens when you leave a kid with their father, and this picture right here is an appropriate representation of either that or the pilot was having a bring-your-child-to-work day. Whatever it is, we are sure that the position, especially at this height, is not safe for the kid. Every parent wants their kids to reach new heights, but not like this!
We hope that the image is actually just edited for a laugh; otherwise, the incident would be quite traumatic for the child! On another note, his acting skills are top-notch, making the scene seem believable!
When The Boarding Pass Is Just Too Big
This has got to be the biggest boarding pass ever, and we could forgive you for thinking that this guy is on a space travel mission.
Well, when you have crazy friends, anything is possible! This chap had probably told their friend to print out their boarding pass for them but didn't get specific on the size they wanted. This is what he got. Let's hope he didn't have any trouble at the airport, with the barcode scanners and all. We are sure he won't delegate such important tasks next time!
Sticky Souvenirs
Souvenirs are a traveler's best friend, and they help preserve the memories of a great trip or place. It goes without saying that they can come in all forms and shapes depending on individual taste.
This stick here, at an airport's conveyor belt, looks every part memorabilia, and the owner probably carried it along to keep alive his memory of that particular visit. The airport staff must have been quite considerate, given the standard of care they are according to the stick. It even has its own barcode for identification! One thing for sure, the traveler's most likely to return here. Everyone seems so kind and caring!
Can You Do It Like Us?
What happens when a ballet troupe grounds up at the airport due to a delayed flight or something? This crew would not let the news dampen their mood, and they resorted to doing what they do best - ballet dancing. The stage was Denver International airport, and to their credit, the crew put in the performance of a lifetime.
Dancing is widely known to release feel-good hormones in the body, and the crew probably felt better after their dance session. In addition, they ended up providing some much-needed entertainment for everyone else stuck at the airport.
The Biggest Souvenir, Perhaps?
When you visit your dream destination, it is normal practice to carry with you some memories to remember the beautiful moments you had. Most times, a souvenir is usually a small item, but for the guy in this picture, the fellow almost carried the whole town with him. It’s an exaggeration, but take a look at his load. Pretty humongous, right?
It still serves the purpose, but our concern is how he managed to get it home. Besides the extra chargers at the airport for such a heavy load, we wonder if it got home in one piece.
No Name Tag Needed
Identifying your luggage on the conveyor belt gets a little tricky as most of the bags look similar these days. So, people have come up with creative solutions to this problem - some make caligraphies on their briefcase, while others purchase customized name tags to hand on the handle, and then there are individuals like this guy in the picture.
One may think of him as a self-obsessed person, but we have to give him credit for his unique idea. The man deserves some brownie points! He certainly would not have any trouble in recognizing his trunk amidst any number of others.
A Funny Coincidence
Look at these men minding their business, involved in a deep conversation, and the boy passing by on the extreme right - none of them have any idea about why everyone around them was laughing.
The position of these gentlemen is perfectly aligned with the figures made on the hoarding. The man on the extreme right looks like he is about to kick the middle one, who seems to have paired his fashionable suit with a fancy bikini bottom and feathered scarf. At the same time, the bearded guy on the left appears like he has styled shorts with an expensive winter jacket! Don't we love such hilarious coincidences?
Santa on the Runway
Showing up at the airport, dressed in Santa's uniform, this man seems to be in a holiday mood. Maybe he came straight from a party and did not get the time to change. Or perhaps, the airline thought of distributing Christmas gifts to their guests, which would explain the outfit. Whatever may be the case, he seems to have struck at the security gates.
Notice how the gentleman is standing barefoot at the door. We hope he did not carry any daggers as presents in his footwear, or possibly a toy gun could have caught the eyes of the officers.
Set the Timer Before You Kiss
Won't you agree, traveling is fun, but goodbyes are the hardest? Sometimes, people leave for longer durations, so they want to take their time at the airport and exchange some affectionate kisses. While airport authorities support such adorable gestures, they had to manage the traffic that would occur due to large gatherings at the dropping point.
Therefore, in Denmark, Aalborg Airport installed this signboard to tell passengers to hurry up in the best polite manner possible. We are not sure who keeps track of time while kissing, but three minutes sounds like a fair deal. Don't you think?
Focus on the Intent
First of all, let's give a round of applause for the lady who completed her training and came out sober after 17 days. While these children have put in a lot of effort in creating an encouraging welcome board for their grandmom, we doubt if she even liked this shoutout.
How on earth young kids always find new and creative ways to embarrass their elders publically in the sweetest ways possible? One can't even scold them afterward! Hopefully, their granny did not fix herself a drink as soon as she reached home to overcome the humiliation!
Best in a Series of Mean Pranks
Assuming that the kid is too young to understand the concept of captivity and then make a welcome board like this alone seems unbelievable to us. We suspect his father must have been behind this prank, who simply used his child to embarrass his wife, because, let's admit, no one can get angry at that cute and innocent face!
Despite the unavoidable embarrassment, the lady in question must have been delighted to see her family at the airport. Even if she had not gone behind bars, we're sure she must have missed her children and partner!
When You Love Your Job
Often people doing clerical work are the most hardworking; take this employee, for example. He may not be doing a high-level job, but the man sure knows how to have fun at what you do. He put on a little show for the audience sitting on the plane, waiting for the flight to take off.
Someone took advantage of their window seat, recorded this entertaining act, and made the worker famous over the internet. Judging the finesse in his moves, we wonder what's he doing on the runway instead of participating in a dance reality show.
How to Have Fun on an Airport
No matter where you go, the destination doesn't hold as much importance as the company does. And if you have friends like these individuals in the GIF, all your trips will be filled with silly yet fun adventures. Well, they do deserve a round of applause for creating a literal human-made scooter!
It seems like these young men were too excited to travel together and could not wait anymore to have a gala time. Besides, if you are not much of a shopper, there is not much to do in airports anyway.
Sailing on a Moving Walkway
Having the best time of their lives at the Chicago airport are the young boys of the Bishop's Kelly High School. Their flight ended up delayed, so the crew thought of having a practice session before their competition. Indeed, there could not have been a more fun way of utilizing a couple of extra hours.
This group might be rowing without water, boats, or even any oars, but they seem to know their game. Look at those smoothly coordinated moves along with their attention to detail when mimicking rowing! We hope they won the match, after all.
Naughty Nieces
Undoubtedly, aunts and uncles are the first friends that young kids make. Take this picture, for example. The nobleman thought of taking his darling nieces on their first flight but ended up looking like a clown himself. In all fairness, he invited this trouble himself. Who leaves their children unattended, especially when they are as mischievous as these little ladies!
What's even more hilarious is that the man would have a hard time peeling these stickers off his hairy arm. We can literally hear him crying in pain! Thankfully, they did not ruin the airport property; else, it would have been a cherry on the cake of miseries!
Camping on the Go
This is how you spot a mountaineer; they always travel with a tent, just in case! Carrying a canopy indeed turned out to be helpful for this gentleman, who got a layover of 16 hours before his connecting flight.
One can doze off on the cushioned couches comfortably like the man on the left, but who can guarantee an uninterrupted sleep at such a crowded location. Moreover, if you don't sleep with lights on, then sorry mate, airports might not be the best place for you to take a nap. But this guy had nothing to worry about. He fixed his tent and passed out like a light!
Way to Seek Attention
The bag might not have cost you a lot, lady, but this kind of sarcasm may indeed cost you a hefty fine. Or worse, the authorities might even deport you for wasting their time.
If we think differently, carrying something dangerous in such a purse might actually work in this woman's favor. Who would believe that someone would bring prohibited items so casually and also give a shoutout about it? Officers may easily issue a gate pass, thinking it is only a joke. Everything aside, it's a cool way of seeking the crowd's attention!
Do You Really Need All That, Honey?
Most men would agree that when it comes to packing, the male species is far more efficient. All we need is some clean underwear and a toothbrush, and we can survive pretty much anywhere!
On the other hand, women apparently pack a lot more than is needed, and someone on the internet thought this photo would hilariously reflect that statement. Of course, we know that this isn't actually the case and that you get men who are just as pedantic. We just hope this massive amount of luggage got handled safely and brought down without anyone getting hurt!
A Scanner For All
We live in a time where technology rules and is of the utmost importance in keeping us safe. Some airports have even implemented new human scanners to detect everything from your fingerprints down to your DNA. In this picture, we can see one of these gadgets that help secure us in operation.
Well, we're just joking, and we reckon this is probably just a person from the technical department trying to fix a standard scanner after some kind of malfunction occurred. But it's fun to use one's imagination, though, isn't it?
True Legend
We don't know if the person who played around with this boarding sign was on their last day of the job. Maybe they actually wanted it to be the last day at their current employment and was looking to get fired.
It doesn't matter, though, because all that's important here is the fact that this mystery legend is clearly a master at playing with words. We think the Beastie Boys would be proud of this magnificent pun featuring one of their hit songs, and we just have to say thank you to the man or woman who came up with this brilliant idea!
Time Is Relative
Have you ever wondered why it takes so long for your luggage to come around after you've landed? Don't we land at the same time as our bags? Yes, we do, but there are many factors involved in getting it to the conveyer belt, and it requires people to remain focused on their tasks.
Then you get guys like these who are focused, but apparently not on the right things. We have to admit that their bout of cone tossing does seem quite entertaining. We do hope that they are doing this while waiting for the next plane to come in and not when they've got a job to do!
On The Menu Today? Nothing!
Most airplane food is mediocre at best and very expensive, which makes no sense, but oh well, it is what it is. However, when you need something and the flight attendant tells you that it's out of stock can really grind your gears.
It seems that we've found one of the reasons the airline's food is sometimes lacking, as it looks like these two employees are enjoying a full buffet of snacks before stocking the service cart. In this case, we hope it's a matter of looks being deceiving because we don't want this pair to get into trouble, unless they ate the food meant for the customers, of course.
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
We know being healthy and getting enough exercise is essential, but this guy is taking it to the next level, along with his wife! It seems that Mr. Muscles over here didn't have enough time to get to the gym before his trip to the airport and improvised!
Apparently, a whole row of seats with your partner at the end forms a good object to lift, and we've got to say, we would never have thought of that. The man's wife seems strangely okay with all of this, so we believe it is safe to say that she is probably now accustomed to this type of behavior from him.
Dressed Up To The Tee
While most people don't really bother dressing up for a flight, there are still people who treat it like a classy affair. We applaud people like these because we don't have the courage it takes to put in the effort to look good for what is basically a long school bus trip through the sky.
A prime example of this is this lady, who looks super classy in her skin tight dress, and from what we can see, most people are taking notice or trying to pretend that they don't see her at all! We hope she packed something a little more comfy for when she gets to her destination.
Too Cool For School
Being a pilot is already cool enough, but then you get those sky captains who just have to up the ante when they get a chance.
This high-flyer managed to take a selfie from just outside his plane's cockpit with the magnificent Palm Archipelago as a backdrop. Isn't it amazing? One would think that this isn't possible, but in fact, the windows can open at low altitudes and help provide an escape route for the crew that operates the aircraft. We wonder how many 'likes' this picture got on social media. He must still be trending!
Only If You Promise To Be Quiet
Kids are notorious for causing chaos and throwing tantrums, and one of the last places you want this to happen is at the airport. After all, you wouldn't want to miss your flight just because your child is rolling around on the floor while screaming because they didn't get what they wanted.
Enter this smart dad who knows exactly how to keep his little one in check. He's walking to the gate, and his child is enjoying a little joyride on his luggage. We reckon all the other adults must be in awe of his parenting abilities.
Not A Great Place To Hide
Obviously, this pilot has no reason to hide on her own flight, and we have to say that posing inside the rim of your plane's jet engine makes for a spectacular photo. It's also safe for her to sit there as she needs to turn on the aircraft anyway!
However, there are cases of people stowing away on flights, and apparently, the most common place to hide is in the wheels. In one of the first recorded cases we know of, a twelve-year-old Indonesian boy made it to Australia by doing that. He eventually settled there permanently and even married! What a way to get to the land down under!
Soldier! Get Back To Work
Well, almost everyone agrees that serving the US armed forces is a pride for most of the countrymen and women and a source of honor and respect for many. Plus, it is a hard job as it requires leaving your loved ones behind and moving towards danger for years.
Perhaps, that is why Mrs. Neal showed up with this welcome poster. But now we are sure about one thing that this wife is pretty demanding and loves her husband. And why wouldn’t she be? Her man has been away for god knows how long!
An Ideal Way to Travel Now!
Let us all agree that nobody has ever imagined that the whole world would stall for a year or more due to the disease. Well, here we are, staying home for almost a year. This pandemic has affected air travel a lot, primarily because of the travel bans in numerous nations across the world.
But it seems that this guy in the picture came all prepared as he has closed all the potential entry points of the virus. We have to say that not only is this creative but also an effective countermeasure to combat the virus. Our only worry is, what if he has a scratch?
Best Friends Forever!
We are sure that many of you might find this picture a little weird. But don't worry! Just like people in the states who love dogs and cats, Middle Eastern folks are well-reputed for their love for falcons. Interestingly, this bird is also the UAE's national bird and a symbol of strength as it is perfect for the animal hunt.
You will be surprised to know that it is pretty common for Arabs to take their falcons with them onboard, and many airlines also allow it. However, most of those are just local flights to other nearby states in the Middle East.
A Symbolic Protest
As we all agree that traveling as light as you can is the best way to save yourself some time on the check-in lines. Still, some people travel with massive loads of baggage with them while others carry a human being, exceeding the weight limit way too much.
Yet this woman here is symbolically making a strong statement and recording his protest. The sticker on the right side of the bag urges the authorities to clamp down on the human trafficking of thousands of people. It appears that she has successfully achieved her goal!
