Boarding
This announcement is usually made while the aircraft is parked
at the gate and the last passengers are boarding.
“Ladies and gentlemen,
the Captain has turned on the Fasten
Seat Belt sign. If you haven’t already done so, please
stow your carry-on luggage underneath
the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin. Please take your seat and
fasten your seat belt. And also make sure your seat back and folding trays are in
their full upright position.
If you are seated next to
an emergency exit,
please read carefully the special instructions card located by your seat. If
you do not wish to perform the functions described in the event of an
emergency, please ask a flight attendant to reseat you.

is a non-smoking
flight. Smoking is prohibited on the entire aircraft, including the
lavatories. Tampering with, disabling or destroying the lavatory smoke
detectors is prohibited by law.
If you have any questions about our flight today, please don’t
hesitate to ask one of our flight attendants. Thank you.”
Usually before the door is closed, or while it is closed, this
announcement is made.
“Ladies and gentlemen,
this is/my name is X and I’m your chief flight attendant. On behalf of (Captain
Z and) the entire crew, welcome aboard ???
Airlines flight ???, non-stop service from ??? to ??? (then continuing on to
???).
Our flight time will be

at a ground speed of ??? miles per hour/kilometers per hour.
At this time, make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in
their full upright position and that your seat belt is correctly fastened.
Also, your portableelectronic devices must be set to ‘airplane’ mode until an
announcement is made upon arrival. Thank you.”
When the door is closed and the aircraft is about to pushback,
the Captain or the Chief flight attendant will make an announcement intended to
the flight attendants.
“Flight attendants/Cabin Crew, please prepare for gate
departure.”
“Flight attendants/Cabin Crew, doors on automatic, cross-check and report. Thank you.”
“Flight attendants/Cabin Crew, doors on automatic, cross-check and report. Thank you.”
Depending on the type of aircraft and presence of a video
system, this announcement will be made.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to direct your attention to the
television monitors. We will be showing our safety demonstration and would like
the next few minutes of your complete attention.”
If there is no video system and the flight attendants do the
demonstration themselves in the aisles, the announcement might be as follows.
“Now we request your full attention as the
flight attendants demonstrate the safety features of this aircraft”.
Either on the video screen, or live, the safety demonstration
might sound like this. If it is a video presentation, it usually starts with a
friendly welcome from the airline, the reminder of the seat belt sign currently
illuminated, the seat back and tray table restriction, as well as the carry-on
luggage.
“When the seat belt sign
illuminates, you must fasten your seat
belt. Insert the metal fittings one into the other, and tighten by
pulling on the loose end of the strap. To release your seat belt, lift the
upper portion of the buckle. We suggest that you keep your seat belt fastened
throughout the flight, as we may experience turbulence.
There are several emergency exits on this
aircraft (??? forward, ??? aft, and ??? over each wing.) Please take a few
moments now to locate your nearest exit. In some cases, your nearest exit may
be behind you. If we need to evacuate the aircraft, floor-level lighting will
guide you towards the exit. Doors can be opened by moving the handle in the
direction of the arrow. Each door is equipped with an inflatable slide which
may also be detached and used as a life raft.
Oxygen and the air
pressure are always being monitored. In the event of a decompression, an oxygen mask will
automatically appear in front of you. To start the flow of oxygen, pull the
mask towards you. Place it firmly over your nose and mouth, secure the elastic
band behind your head, and breathe normally. Although the bag does not inflate,
oxygen is flowing to the mask. If you are travelling with a child or someone
who requires assistance, secure your mask on first, and then assist the other
person. Keep your mask on until a uniformed crew member advises you to remove
it.
In the event of an
emergency, please assume the bracing
position. (Lean forward with your hands on top of your head and your
elbows against your thighs. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor.)
A life vest is
located in a pouch under your seat or between the armrests. When instructed to
do so, open the plastic pouch and remove the vest. Slip it over your head. Pass
the straps around your waist and adjust at the front. To inflate the vest, pull
firmly on the red cord, only when leaving the aircraft. If you need to refill
the vest, blow into the mouthpieces. Use the whistle and light to attract
attention. (Also, your seat bottom cushion can be used as a flotation device.
Pull the cushion from the seat, slip your arms into the straps, and hug the
cushion to your chest.)
At this time, your
portable electronic
devices must be set to ‘airplane’ mode until an announcement is made
upon arrival.
We remind you that this
is a non-smoking
flight. Tampering with, disabling, or destroying the smoke detectors
located in the lavatories is prohibited by law.
You will find this and all the other safety information in the card located in the seat
pocket in front of you. We strongly suggest you read it before take-off. If you
have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask one of our crew members. We
wish you all an enjoyable flight.”
Usually, the Captain will make a small briefing before take-off,
sometimes indicating the priority for take-off (e.g. “We are third in priority
for take-off, we should depart in about five minutes”). But there is always an
announcement like:
“Flight attendants, prepare for take-off please.”
“Cabin crew, please take your seats for take-off.”
“Cabin crew, please take your seats for take-off.”
Within a minute after take-off, an announcement may be made
reminding passengers to keep their seat belts fastened.
After passing above clouds or turbulence, the Captain will turn
off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, but usually, the aircraft is still climbing to
its cruising altitude. The flight attendants will then invite the passengers to
release their seat belts if needed.
“Ladies and gentlemen,
the Captain has turned off the Fasten
Seat Belt sign, and you may now move around the cabin. However we always
recommend to keep your seat belt fastened while you’re seated.
In a few moments, the flight attendants will be passing around
the cabin to offer you hot or cold drinks, as
well as breakfast/dinner/supper/a light meal/a
snack. Alcoholic drinks are also available at a nominal charge/with our
compliments. (On long flights with
inflight entertainment: Also, we will be showing
you our video
presentation.) Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight. Thank
you.”
Occasionally, turbulence may occur during a flight. The seat
belt sign will turn on and, in case of moderate to severe turbulence ahead, the
flight crew will make a brief announcement.
“Flight attendants/Cabin crew, please be seated.”
Shortly after the seat belt sign illuminates, this announcement
will be made.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. We
are now crossing a zone of turbulence. Please return your seats and keep your
seat belts fastened. Thank you.”
Before, or during the descent, the Captain will usually make an
announcement with local time and temperature at the destination airport, and
time left until arrival. It is followed by an announcement from the flight
attendant.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as we start our descent, please make sure
your seat backsand tray tables are in
their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is
securely fastened and all carry-on
luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead
bins. Thank you.”
To indicate the landing clearance or final approach, the Captain
will either make the following announcement and/or blink the No Smoking sign.
“Flight attendants, prepare for landing please.”
“Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing.”
“Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing.”
It may be followed by an announcement by a flight attendant.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been cleared to land at the
??? airport. Please make sure one last time your seat belt is securely
fastened. The flight attendants are currently passing around the cabin to make
a final compliance check and pick up any remaining cups and glasses. Thank
you.”
After touchdown, and as the aircraft is turning off the active
runway and taxiing to the gate, the flight attendant will do one last
announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ??? Airport. Local time is ???
and thetemperature is ???.
For your safety and
comfort, please remain seated with
your seat belt
fasteneduntil the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will
indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to
move about. (Depending on the
airline’s policy/local laws: At this time, you may use
your cellular phones if you wish./Cellular phones may only be used once the
Fasten Seat Belt sign has been turned off.)
Please check around your
seat for any personal
belongings you may have brought on board with you and
please use caution when opening the overhead
bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight.
If you require deplaning assistance,
please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our
crew members will then be pleased to assist you.
On behalf of ??? Airlines and the entire crew, I’d like to thank you for
joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again
in the near future. Have a nice day/evening/night/stay!”
