Kulula is a low cost airline in South Africa that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Check out their new livery. And have a read about their customer relations.

 

What a pity they don't fly internationally. We should support them if only for their humor.

 

Kulula is an Airline with it's Head Office in Johannesburg

Kulula airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements

a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported.

 

1. On a Kulula flight there is no allocated seating, you just sit where you want. Passengers were apparently

having a hard time choosing, then a flight attendant announced, "People, people we are not picking out

furniture here, find a seat and get in it !".

 

2.On another flight with a very senior flight attendant crew, the pilot said "Ladies and gentlemen, we've

reached our cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights". "This is for your comfort and to

enhance the appearance of your flight attendants".

 

3. On landing the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all your belongings with you,

If you are going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have".

 

4. "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane"

 

5. "Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we

enjoyed taking you for a ride".

 

6. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport, a lone voice came over the

loudspeaker "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

 

7. After a particularly rough landing during thunder storms in Karoo, a flight attendant announced,

"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that,

sure a hell everything has shifted".

 

8. "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop

screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with

you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than

one small child, pick your favorite".

 

9. From the pilot during his welcome message "Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that

we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them

are on this flight ".

 

10.Another flight attendants comment on a less than perfect landing, "we ask you to please

remain seated while Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal".

 

11. Heard on a Kulula flight " Ladies and Gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section

on this airplane is on the wing.. If you can light em, you can smoke em".

Ha, now that is a plane.

Thats mad, you have gotta have a sense of humor about your job why be upset all day, when you can laugh and smile

I remember when Virgin Blue used to be like that.

 

Now they're not allowed to crack jokes because the turrrrrorrists hate freedom and Jebus.

I think they'd do great in Oz!

I heard that Virgin Blue is green with envy over this !

Half of those announcements are the Aviation equivalent of an urban myth.

 

Jetstar tried non-allocated seating for a couple of years, and let me tell you it was one of the most unpleasant things you can deal with. Also refererred to as the "Olympic system", as the first person there gets the best seat.

 

The problem with comedy on a commercial flight is that unfortunately some punters see it as unprofessional. Shdes is right, VB used to be alot like that, but over the years has evolved into a more...... well, professional outlook.For good or bad, who knows.

 

Funky paint job, but being a 737 NG it'll be covered in hydraulic leaks sooner rather than later!

Yeah, I agree about the announcements. They've re-hashed a couple of oldies there I think.

I know attendants who work for both Qantas (and Ansett for those who remember it). There's a couple in there I've heard before.

An oldie was when greeting a flight attendant, say "Hi Jack".

In today's climate, this is a major no-no. You will not be allowed on, if not dragged of to Guantanamo.

Remember Ansett? Hell I worked for them for 11 years. :)

Remember Ansett?

 

The condom people?

The condom people?

 

:lolcry: I was going to put that up last night but thought that people would say umm it's ansell.

In wales you can get Ansell's Bitter. I always thought it tasted a bit rubbery.....

I have several sets of Ansett 'Junior Pilot' wings, a complimentary carry on bag (zipper STILL WORKS) and a set of headphones.

 

I've even sat in the co-pilot's seat whilst at cruising altitude before.

 

Of course, this was in the days before the Terrorists won.
