Kulula African Airline

I realize what your thinking – “Tom, especially in these times of travel safety, I really don’t want my airline to have a sense of humor”. Well do you know what I say to that sir? Nut up you Mountebank! As an avid world traveler myself, I often like to go for the more “local” travel solutions.

Well all around good guy and Man Card Holder Rock shot me this email and I couldn’t pass up showing it to you guys, the community.

Based in Johannesburg (Fucking Prawns!), South Africa, Kulula airlines has adopted a simple monicor to base their company by: We’re traveling 300 to 500 Miles an hour or so 36,000 feet above the ground, why not crack a joke or two and calm the fuck down?(Not an actual company statement, though Official Man Card is in licensing talks with the airline).

What first intrigued me about Kulula Air was their planes. Clad in neon green and plastered with the various “bits and bobs” associated with Airline construction, the fleet looks more like a Bowing Intern’s homework rather than an actual airliner.

As if that weren’t enough, their flight staff love jokes! Take a look at a few of the epic scenarios and quick wit of the crew, and let us know if you’ve had any similar experiences on an airline!

“Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.”

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: “Whoa, big fella. WHOA!”

On another flight with a very “senior” flight attendant crew, the pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached cruising altitude and will be  turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance  the appearance of your flight attendants.”

“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.”

Stay Manly Guys!
