1. Avoid flying Delta, United, American, Southwest,

and Alaska: Strangely, Spirit should be totally fine.
2. Log as many hours on Microsoft Flight
Simulator 98 as possible before your trip: This’ll
come in handy if you’re needed to help the pilot
land the plane.
3. Make sure the pilot is a middle-aged retired
fighter pilot named “Chuck”: And he should
have a mustache.
4. Sew together 100 hot towels to form a parachute:
Might come in handy.
5. Bring your mom so she can put her arm over
your chest like a seatbelt if the plane stops
suddenly: This will save your life.
6. Sit between two morbidly obese passengers for
cushioning: The tubbier, the better.
7. Poke your head into the cockpit and remind
the flight crew to check if the wings are still
attached: Follow it up with a polite “I just wanted to
tell you both good luck, we’re all counting on you.”
8. Travel by a Chinese rickshaw instead: A 98%
less chance of dying in a fiery explosion.
9. Practice jumping so you can jump off the airplane
floor right before a crash and avoid 100% of the
impact: It’s proven to be effective in elevators, so it
stands to reason it’ll work on a plane.
