Kulula Airlines is funny.

Kalula Airlines is a South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously

For example, On a Kulula flight, there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want

One time when passengers were having a particularly hard time choosing seats, a flight attendant announced
"People, people, we're not picking out furniture here....Find a seat and get in it."

After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo, a flight attendant announced
"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments, because, after a landing like that,
sure as Hell everything has shifted."

"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."

"Your seat 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."


After another hard landing, a Kulula Airlines pilot wrote that
"on this particular flight, he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard...The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited,..."smile, and give them 'thanks for flying our airline."
he said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye,
thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady with a cane.
She said: "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Why, no, ma'am," said the pilot.."What is it?"
The little old lady said, "Did we land, or we're we shot down?"
