RE: Funniest event on board
well, I’d have to say that the only unusual things I’ve encountered on board flights were
a) British Midland (pre-bmi, about 5 years ago) 737-500 flight from Zurich to Heathrow, during the saftey demonstration, the steward doing the voiceover was very graphic, and proceeded to blow a raspberry into the microphone, demonstrating how the nozzle should be used to top up the lifevest, should extra air be required.
b) British Airways (about 3 years ago) 757 shuttle from Heathrow to Glasgow, on boarding, I remarked to the steward at the door how I hoped the sign was being adhered to, as one of the lightbulbs had obviously gone, and the sign beside the door read (or rather was illuminated only) simply ‘Fasten Seat’. The steward agreed, saying he hoped they were fastened. The pushback was delayed, as there was a problem arming the chutes at the rear doors, and, as I tried to get comfy, I tried to adjust the headrest, but pulled the whole ear of the headrest off the seat (the runner it was on was defective). As I said to the steward, it obvioulsy hadn’t followed the sign, after all…
