14. Personally, I like this former President's mode of air travel the best:

There’s another airline video going viral. This time it’s for all the right reasons.

Former President Jimmy Carter is at the center of the latest video, shot Thursday (June 8) onboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Washington. A smiling, gregarious Carter is seen walking down the aisle of the jet, shaking the hand of every passenger he can reach.

"His enthusiasm was authentic and humble, in a way that made things feel less heavy for a moment," passenger James Parker Sheffield, who shot the video, said to Atlanta's WSB-TV.

The 92-year-old Carter was on the flight to travel to Washington to attend the funeral for his former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, according to The Associated Press.
