A doze of laughter before take off

November 15 (TravelAndy): Adam Stoaling, a pilot of British budget carrier EasyJet, is doing his bit to make travel a little more entertaining for budget travellers.

According to an Olive Press report, Stoaling, who is also a comedian, usually flies on the Malaga-London Southend route. He routinely performs a five-minute stand-up comedy before flying the aircraft.

“He welcomed us aboard, said he felt budget air travel had become unenjoyable and then told a few jokes,” Malaga-based singer Arran Harding told Olive Press.

“He had the whole plane in laughter and received a standing ovation.”

This Nottingham based pilot performs his routine entertainment voluntarily. He is not directed or paid by his employer for this service.
