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

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. We remind you that this is a non-smoking flight.

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.” Door closure

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 of ??? hours and ??? minutes. We will be

seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position and
that your seat belt is correctly fastened. Also, your portable
electronic 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 departure.”

Crew,

please prepare

for

gate

“Flight attendants/Cabin Crew, doors on automatic, crosscheck

and report. Thank you.”

Safety demonstration 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.
