Aer Lingus flight passengers 'erupt in laughter after pilot's Brexit themed joke'

The in-flight entertainment on planes isn't always top notch banter but it's been claimed one pilot made sure to get his passengers smiling before they even took off.

Steve Conlon was on a flight from Dublin Airport to Berlin on the day of the Election vote in Parliament.

He tweeted saying: "On flight Dublin to Berlin with Aer Lingus - doors have just closed.

"As we pull from the gate, pilot announces that he expects some slight turbulence whilst flying over the UK. Plane erupts in sniggers."

Of course, people were quick to jump in to say that it didn't happen while others chimed in saying that there was nothing funny about the situation in the UK at the moment, writes Dublin Live .

One person said: "You only have to fly over it, imagine living through this nightmare!  #brexitmehole   #StopTheCoup   #stopBrexit   #RevokeA50   #SOS ."

But most kept it quite simple and just posted GIFs of people laughing as well as one of Jacob Rees-Mogg lying back on the benches and smiling.
