No one really likes flying. For most, it’s a pretty mundane chore that can feel like purgatory. You’re not on vacation and you’re not home. You’re just kind of waiting.
Long lines, crabby co-passengers, overpriced airport food… Not fun.
People tend to dread it and try to fall asleep and just forget about the whole ordeal altogether. Some are even scared of flying, which doesn’t make it a good experience for anyone involved.
However, if you have a good flight attendant who is willing to put in a little more effort, they can really turn the situation around. One situation in particular proved this.
Passenger Cindy Kuhn was on her way back home to Colorado Springs, Colorado after visiting her children in Orlando, Florida when she was suddenly hit with a surprise.
Turns out her flight attendant was hilarious. He took the tedious task of the safety demonstration and turned it into something quite magical.
“When he started his spiel, he introduced the air hostess at the front of the plane as his wife and the one at the back as his mistress and that’s when I knew I was in for a fun flight,” Cindy shared. “When he started his announcement it really perked people up and we all expected it to escalate in humor, which it did.”
The flight attendant goes by the name Daniel Sandberg and hails from Minnesota. He works for Frontier Airlines, although maybe he should consider looking into some stand-up gigs.
Sandberg continued the safety demonstration for 150 weary travelers on the 11 pm flight and it was the opposite of a boring instructional lecture.
For example, instead of calling the bright yellow inflatable vest a flotation device, he referred to it as an “itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka dot bikini.”
Even his fellow flight attendants were bubbling up with laughter.
Sandberg continued, stating that when administering oxygen, you’ll want to choose “your favorite child.” He then took it further by saying you can only even get that oxygen if you’ve paid an additional $49.99.
For those who didn’t pay attention to the demonstration, Sandberg only had two words: “good luck!”
“He must be the world’s funniest flight attendant. He was so personable and had us all in stitches — hook, line, and sinker,” Cindy said afterward.
Cindy was so impressed, she went on to share a video of the funny moment online. It then went viral, impressing people all over. It led to Sandberg’s new nickname: “world’s funniest flight attendant.”
“Some people can be in a mood when flying so I think this was really great because it made everyone feel happy. It’s a great feeling when you can bring positivity to people all around the world,” she stated.
We’re so happy that there was a flight attendant who decided to go the extra mile and offer a laugh to those who were tired. He may have even offered a glimpse of hope to the people who are scared of flying in general.
We hope we see Daniel on the next plane we board. Or maybe a sense of humor should be a new requirement for aspiring flight attendants!
Watch the hilarious demonstration.
