Some of us always have our heads in the clouds, literally. Whether it be dreaming about joining the cabin crew, becoming a pilot, or just traveling and exploring new destinations, it’s an altogether different experience, isn’t it?
Sitting in some corner, passing the long transit hours, consuming the umpteenth cup of overpriced coffee, or watching the motley assembly of the airport crowd. Whether you are obsessed with flying or hate it with all your heart and would rather travel in old-fashioned carriages than planes, airplane jokes work for everyone.
Why Airplane Jokes or Plane Puns?
Airplane puns can be either a distraction to make you forget your anxiety (or flight phobia) or a reminder that it has been too long since your last trip, so maybe you should start planning a new one. These plane memes can also help you kill time during an extra-long layover. Humor always saves the day!
However, one word of advice: abstain from telling your jokes to the plane crew, especially if they are morbid. Even if you find your airplane meme very funny, the flight attendant probably won’t be impressed. For one, they have heard it more than they care to remember. And secondly, when you work such a high-pressure job as they do, pilot jokes seem far less funny to them than they might seem to you.
