“For My Next Trick, I’m Going To Make Your Legroom…Disappear!”

Matthew Klint Posted onOctober 17, 2022October 27, 2022 12 Comments

The New Yorker magazine is running a cartoon caption contest with an airline theme. How would you caption the picture above?

New Yorker Caption – What Is The Airline Flight Attendant Saying?

I was alerted to the contest by my friend Gib on Instagram:

It’s very simple, come up with a caption and post it online.

Finalists will appear online and in print on October 31, 2022. Send your caption on Instagram to #MyNewYorkerCaption.

My favorite submission thus far is by beniboshi, who said:

“For my next trick, I’m going to make your leg room… disappear!”

I want to enter the contest too…but I’m not sure I can top that. Here are some thoughts:

  • “Steak and lobster? Close your eyes and imagine it.”
  • “I’m sorry your seat is broken. Let me see if I can fix it.”
  • “When I wave my wand you will fill out that credit card application.”
  • “The captain has asked me to speed up our delay.”
  • “Abracadabra, you will make your connection.”
  • “Why of course we are here for your safety.”
  • “Our inflight entertainment system is broken, but fear not!”
  • “In case of emergency, floor-level lighting and my magic wand will illuminate the exit path.”

CONCLUSION

I’m sure some of you can come up with something more clever. Do leave your captions in the comments section below.

      This is hands-down my favorite. I always roll my eyes and chuckle when either the flight or cabin crew says some bullshit about FAs being there for our safety. Sure, Jan…66-year-old Karen is really going to do anything safety-related in actual emergency. And no, screaming “Brace! Brace! Brace!” is not something that anyone needs to specially train for.

    The old saying “beam me up Scotty” comes to mind. Or, “I will beam you up to your destination and will arrive in no time.”

    “Abracadabra! Presto change-o! Your miles are now worth half of yesterday’s value. Please also note the enhanced prices for award flights to the places you might actually want to fly in spring. Or summer. Or autumn. OK, winter, too, actually. (Mogadishu is wide open year round, as usual.)”

    I’d like to turn you all into toads, but if you behave I’ll settle for revoking all your humans rights as long as you’re aboard this aircraft.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
