Two with KLM...
(1)
Peak flight evening SPL-LHR just landed LHR.
Obviously fairly new stewardess starts making the usual announcement:
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to......"
long pause
then a panicked "ohmigod where are we?"
followed by a shriek as she realised she'd said that with the mike open
Complete collapse of rest of cabin crew & pax
Sent all use tired day-trip businesspeople home in a good mood!

One summer afternoon, having managed to get away early from the office, go to SPL & ask checkin if they can put me on earlier flight.
Clickety-click on keyboard, "yes you're on do you want business class upstairs or downstairs?"
me : errr upstairs on a 737? Heathrow?
Sure nuff is a new 747-400. so upstairs for me!
In fact upstairs is me and the 2 senior F/As and that's it.
So we are on the run-in to LHR, just out of the circuit and one of the F/As comes over and says "is it OK if we look out of the windows?"
me: "err, yeah, um, sure" (?que?)
Then the whole way down until the "seats for landing" announcement there were 2 excited F/As dashing back & forth doing the whole sightseeing bit "oooh look it's Buckingham Palace".. "oooh look it's..." etc etc.
Once we were on stand I asked what it was all about - turns out that both of them had been flying for over 10 years, but never been to London, always long haul and for a long haul crew London was "an exotic destination".
I just thoughth it was nice that 2 seasoned professionals could rediscover their excitement for flying!
