This aircraft is equipped with display screens and earphone ports capable of rendering moving images with synchronized sound, a means of comunicating ideas and sensations through the projection or display of recorded photographic images. Please be careful when using the system, as content may cause reactions such as laughter, regret, or anticipation. If you would like more information about this more than century-old medium, please contact a flight attendant.

In a few moments we will be making our way down the aisle to begin our beverage service. Beverages are liquids prepared for human consumption, which not only provide hydration but also signal personal attitudes and cultural affinities. Each beverages bears a unique name and possesses different flavors, which stimulate the chromoreceptors on the tongue (the rounded pink object in your mouth). Some beverages contain ethanol, a flammable, colorless liquid that also acts as a psychoactive drug. On our flight, the consumption of ethanol requires a minimum age of 21 years, and a minimum wealth of $7.

As we prepare to deplane, please be aware that you will exit the jetway into an airport, an architectural, civic, and sometimes military installation at which fixed-wing aviation vehicles take off and land. If this is your final destination, we thank you for flying our airline, a legal entity incorporated to provide air transit services. If you are continuing your travel, it is sometimes necessary to “connect” to another plane by ambulating through the terminal (or building) of the airport. If you are unfamiliar with navigating three-dimensional space, please check terminal signs or ask a uniformed airline representative.
